The analysis stage of the ADDIE model is essential in determining if instructional need exists and if that require can be bridged by instructional intervention. While a comprehensive front-end analysis is often needed, there may be times when a simple needs assessment will suffice to identify the instructional need. First, distinguish between a comprehensive front-end analysis and a needs assessment it terms of what each includes and the process for each. Then, discuss a situation in which all that may be needed is a needs assessment. Explain why the situation would NOT require a comprehensive front-end analysis.
