Cover Story: Due to the multifaceted and complex characteristics of distance education, there is a need for the application of different models as guidelines of the design thinking process pursuing specific learning outcomes. This paper presents the results of a meta-analysis process regarding the ADDIE Instructional Design Model in Distance Education. We observe that the ADDIE model is applied to meet different teaching requirements in all online educational environments and is considered a valuable source of information extraction. Taking into account the abundance of new technological means and tools, such as automated artificial intelligence systems, digital educational games and virtual reality worlds, an instructional design model—either new or old—contributes to contemporary scientific knowledge.
