Abstract
Most of ICT companies and researchers in nowadays are adopting agile methods which were introduced to overcome challenges faced traditional methods in developing software. Yet, it is still a challenge to apply agile methods in designing learning software since they still lack instructional design to take care of learning needs. This study aimed at designing an integrated model using Feature Driven Development Process (FDDP) and ADDIE Model to accommodate learning needs at design stage. The integrated FDDP-ADDIE Model was designed using four design strategies includes decompositional, compositional, template based, and incremental and evolutionary strategies. The model was tested in designing Interactive Multimedia Content for Life Skills Education in Tanzania especially the analysis and design phases. Ten software developers and ten teachers evaluated the design. The evaluation looked at satisfaction of its quality in terms of properties of software design and requirements for good software design. It was found that the quality of software design was satisfied 100%, means that the model was very effective in guiding the design process for learning software. Therefore, the integrated FDDP-ADDIE Model is very useful in developing learning software, researchers and software developers can adapt it and use it for producing effective learning software.
