Instructional design can be defined as the practice of creating instructional experiences to help facilitate learning most effectively.

ADDIE

Addie is a learning model used by instructional designers and training developers to create effective learning experiences. The ADDIE model is generic enough that it can be used to create any type of learning experience for any audience – from creating K-12 teaching lessons on cellular biology to developing corporate training programs for an ERP software upgrade.
1. Analysis
Before you start developing your eLearning course, the ADDIE model states you should first analyze the current situation. A quality analysis helps identify learning goals and objectives. It also helps gather information about what your audience already knows and what they still need to learn. During this stage is when you’ll conduct an in-depth training needs assessment to help you identify the gaps.
Ask good questions – who, what, why, where, when, and how?
The finished analysis should become the heart and soul of your eLearning course. You’ll use this analysis as you move through the next phases in the ADDIE process.
OUTPUT: At the end of the Analysis phase, you should have a plan for your eLearning course and know your training needs.

2. Design
The Design phase helps us decide specific learning objectives, structure of the content, mental processes needed by participants, knowledge or skills participants need to retain, best tools to use, videos or graphics to create, the length of time for each lesson. Just to name a few of the essentials.
OUTPUT: At the end of the Design phase, you should have your course outline, overall design, and storyboard completed.

3. Development
The Development phase is where you actually begin creating or developing, your eLearning course.
OUTPUT: At the end of the development phase, you should have your entire e-learning course completed.

4. Implementation
Most often in the world of eLearning, this means exporting your file and uploading the course to an LMS (Learning Management System). During the export process, make sure you work with your client to know the exact settings they prefer for tracking.
OUTPUT: At the end of the Implementation phase, your eLearning course is available in the LMS for users to begin completing.

5. Evaluation
The final phase in the ADDIE Model is evaluation.
The Evaluation phase is all about gathering important information to see if the course needs to be revised and improved.
OUTPUT: At the end of the Evaluation phase, you should have detailed information about what you need to revise or improve for this course or future courses.

Learning Circle Framework

Instructional Design Central (IDC) has created a three phase, easy-to-follow framework to rapidly build and present your learning design strategy—we call this The Learning Circle Framework™. The Learning Circle Framework™ is founded on modern learning design and product development principles. See an overview of The Learning Circle Framework™

SAM Model

"SAM is a different approach to the development of instructional design products that addresses the performance need through iterations, repeated small steps, rather than with perfectly executed giant steps. SAM challenges the notion of moving through a linear process (like ADDIE) from Analysis to Evaluation as an effective strategy for designing learning events intending to produce greater performance. SAM addresses the roadblocks we all face (product quality, meeting timelines and budgets, and managing SMEs). Most importantly, SAM is an agile e-learning development process built specifically for the creation of performance-driven learning. Below are the core phases:
