ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES

Can be applied in almost any

context

Learning is non-linear

Can adjust well for changes in

theory or technology.

Presumes that learning is

predictable and reliable.

Has been around a long time.

Does not allow for mistakes.

DISADVANTAGES

Creativity you need use your

creativity while doing appropriate
selections.

Time consuming you need too

much time to complete the
procedure

One-on-one interest you need to

make one-on-one relation
between students to analyze
them easily.

Need research you have to make

research about learners and
methods, media and materials.
This means that you need extra
time.

Early preparation you need to

prepare this procedure before the
lesson and you can be ready for
the lesson earlier.

Variations your learners may be

different socioeconomic
backgrounds and different
learning styles, this may difficult
you selections.

lead to better results for learners,

because each step is focused on
helping learners achieve the
desired performance outcomes.

None of the design process may

take much time, especially if it is
evaluated and revised

effective in performing their job
tasks, and by applying an orderly

this evaluation process can

significantly increase the time to

ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES

This model is simple and easy to

understand and use.

No working software is produced

until late during the life cycle.

In this model phases are

processed and completed one at
a time. Phases do not overlap.

Once an application is in
thetesting stage, it is very
difficult to go back and change
something that was not wellthought out in the concept stage.

It is easy to manage due to the

rigidity of the model each phase
has specific deliverables and a
review process.

Not suitable for the projects

where requirements are at a
moderate to high risk of
changing.

Rapid Prototyping

ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES

Encourages and requires active

student participation in the
design process .

Sometime encourages informal

design methods which may cause
more problems needing to be
fixed.

Clients dont know their

requirements until they see them
implemented

May lead to a premature

commitment to a design if it is
not remembered that the design
is only a demonstartion .

Can increse creativity through

quicker user feedback .
