Course Desgin

This section of the book is about how the 12 principles effect your course design.  I am used to the ADDIE model of instructional design and this did not really go along with that design principle.    Vella talks about 7 design steps:
Who
Why
When
Where
What
What for
How
I guess if I had to fit this into the ADDIE model I would not call this the design step, but the development step.  I think that these words design and develop are in the incorrect order.  When I think of design I think of the actual creation of the content, and when I think of develop I think of all the background questions that are asked to determine what it is we are trying to end with.  
To express how Vella designs her course she gave two case studies, to use.  I didn’t think they were the best case studies because before we even started designing the training I don’t know that we really determined that this is a training issue.  The only two things that training can change are skill, and knowledge I don’t know that with either case study we have determined that prior to diving in.
