PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT
MODELS AND JUST TELL ME
THE BEST ONE

13. ADDIE
One of the widely used models in Instructional Design and Development

14. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
What do we need to analyze for app development?
User Needs
Do they really need the app?
Requirements
Any Funds?
Platform?
Native app?
Responsive web app?
Cross-platform?

15. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
Needs Assessment –Analyzing User Needs
WHAT THE HECK IS
A NEEDS
ASSESSMENT?

16. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
Needs Assessment –Analyzing User Needs
See more, Allison Rossett
One of the most spectacular researcher in the Needs Assessment area

17. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
Research
PROBLEM
PURPOSE
QUESTIONS

18. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
1. How frequently do users use a university-level and a college-level mobil
e application?
2. How do users perceive their needs for a program-level mobile applicatio
n for their academic program?
3. What kinds of features do users think are necessary in a program-level
mobile application?
To examine the use of the existing university-level and college-level
mobile applications at FSU, and the needs for a program-level mobile
application of an academic program at FSU

19. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
Sample
Who are in the target population?
How many samples are needed?
Target Population
106 students
6 faculty
2,000+ alumni

20. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
Survey Results
Lim, T., Yao, Z., & Dennen, V. (2014, November). Needs assessment of a mobile application
for a graduate program. Concurrent session presentation at the meeting of AECT 2014
International Convention, Jacksonville, FL.

21. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
Which OS devices do you have?
But, in my sample…
Remember, your target population’s properties could be different

22. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
How many of you have downloaded MyFSU Mobile on your phones?

23. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
How frequently do you use MyFSU Mobile?

24. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
Perceived Usefulness of a program-level mobile app

25. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
Preferred Features in the app

26. ADDIE: ANALYSIS
As you can see,
Course Description is one of the most preferred features in school apps.
Is that a general result compared to other research?
Current Information Needs
1. News/Alert (38.7%)
2. Campus Map (35.5%)
3. Course Information (31.0%)
4. Campus Directory (27.9%)
5. News Feeds (25.0%)
……
15. Libraries (0.5%)
Sample: 3,526 Students, Faculty, and Staff
(Johnson, Means, & Khey, 2013)

27. ADDIE: Design
Somethings You Need To Think Before Design
Purposes
What’s the main purpose of using this app?
Content
What kinds of information should be in the app?
Delivery methods
Native app? Responsive web app?
Compatibility
iOS? Androids? or Cross-platform?
Layouts

28. ADDIE: Design
Layout Design – Mockup
9 Excellent tools for design mockups

29. ADDIE: Development
Just Think About This
Should We Know to Write a Code?

30. ADDIE: Development
From http://www.competitive-position.info/

31. ADDIE: Development
Mobile App Development Tools
Single-platform
XCODE for iOS (Objective-C)
Eclipse for Androids (Java)
Androids Studio for Androids (Java)
ETC
Cross-platform
RhoMobile (Ruby)
PhoneGap (HTML5)
ETC
CAN YOU JUST TELL
ME THE BEST TOOL?

32. ADDIE: Development
Some of you might be curious…
Can I really develop a mobile app?
I have never learned any programming skills in college!

33. ADDIE: Development
XCODE for iOS
Only working in Mac, MacBook, and iMac
You can download it (3.xx GB) from AppStore (not iTunes Store)
Launch FSU IS APP you’ve downloaded on your phone (iOS only),
and take a look at how the structure of the app looks like

34. ADDIE: Development
Eclipse for Androids
Working in Windows PC and Mac

36. ADDIE: Development
Remember,
You don’t necessarily have to be a coder.
You can design your app, then hire a developer.

37. ADDIE: Implementation
Launch Your App!
Apple Developer License: $99 USD/year
Google PlayStore Registration: $25 USD

38. ADDIE: Evaluation
Formative Evaluation
• Conducted during design & development to obtain data that is used to revise
products to make it more effective & efficient
• Designers collect data from users & others
Summative Evaluation
• Conducted after products have been implemented to determine value &
worth
• Usually conducted by an independent evaluator
See more, Kirkpatrick’s Evaluation Model

39. ADDIE: Evaluation
Formative Evaluation
• One-to-one
• Small group
• Field Trial
• Performance Context

40. ADDIE: Evaluation
What Do App Developers Do for Their App Analytics?
iTunes Connect
Google App Analytics
