The Kemp instructional design model is a nine step process for planning training and development initiatives. It is more detailed than the ADDIE model, supporting both iterative design and development of support resources for learners.

Summary by The World of Work Project

The Kemp Instructional Design Model

The Kemp instructional design model (also referred to as the Morrison, Ross and Kemp Model) is a nine step instructional design model. It builds on the five core stages of the ADDIE model, adding further depth to each area. These instructional design models can be helpful for supporting organizational development initiatives.

Want to be a better manager?

 Consider our Connected Management development programme. Every year we run an open cohort of our Connected Management programme for those working in small organisations or organisations that are not able to funder development. The programme is £1100 per person with discounts of up to 40% for self-funders and non-profits.

 

In 2024, we have a cohort on Wednesday 3.30pm UK time and Thursdays 9am UK time from April 17/18. It comprises 10 online live workshops with two great facilitators and access to a bank of support materials. Learn more about the programme by clicking below.

The model has nine stages. In the diagram below, we capture a bit more detail about each of those stages.

The World of Work Project View

This model is fine and may be worth considering in conjunction with other models, such as the Dick and Carey model. The main way it differs from other models is through reminding designers to create support resources for trainers and learners to aid their development and learning.

It’s worth having a look through this model before delivering an initiative, but other models may be easier to use and similarly helpful.
