Abstract
Using the model of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation (ADDIE) with regards to instructional design has become a prevalent practise among e-learning designers and developers. This model assumes assigning specific roles to project team members and their linear cooperation. However, in case of working in a dynamic and complex environment, the ADDIE model may evolve into more adaptive and people-oriented Agile instructional models. This article analyses a hybrid approach to the process of creating the e-learning course introduction to cultural awareness in specific situational context, which involves a small size of a project team and geographically dispersed project contributors. The case study reveals that a successful accomplishment of multinational projects, conducted in specific environments may require a hybrid approach; moreover, in such atypical projects good communication skills and personal qualities are crucial for goals’ achievement. The results of qualitative analysis may open further discussions on this topic.
 
 Keywords: ADDIE model, Agile model, e-learning course, instructional design.
 
Highlights
The concept of instructional design (ID) appeared in educational technology literature in the later part of 1950
It must be noted that this hybrid approach to ID, which may be associated both with flexibility and instability, may be realised in a team members with good communication skills and specific personal qualities
They support views of other researchers who stress that instructional designers must have a solid foundation in ID and learning theory, possess soft skills and technical skills, and have a willingness to learn on the job (Ritzhaupt & Kumar, 2015)
Summary
The concept of instructional design (ID) appeared in educational technology literature in the later part of 1950 It is a process by which instruction is improved upon through the analysis of learning needs and systematic development of learning materials (Battou, Baz & Mammass, 2017). It involves the use of specific models, which make the work of an instructional designer more systematic. The aim of this article is to reconcile rigid ID model with an Agile approach (Align, Get set, Iterate and implement, Leverage and Evaluate) and prove that while creating an e-learning course in specific circumstances, the combination of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation (ADDIE) and Agile brings positive results. This attempt can facilitate the emergence of new approaches to ID process
