Next, a number of popular LD models are discussed briefly to o er some practical
examples.

A good example of a popular LD model is ADDIE (Analysis, Design,
Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), which provides a clear and

well-thought-out process for setting up an online programme (Branch, 2009). It
was originally created for the U.S. military in the 1970s, but later adopted to be used

in education more widely. In the analysis phase, the programme or module creator

needs to carefully analyse all the factors a ecting the development of the
programme, such as the goals of the organisation, the students' prior knowledge

and skills, and potential barriers to using digital technologies. In the design phase,

module objectives, topics, and evaluation are specified. The development phase
focuses on the further development of the output of the design phase: producing

the actual materials and content, and also testing out the module to an extent. The
implementation phase is the phase where the module is launched for the first time

with real students. Finally, the evaluation phase consists of obtaining feedback
from the students and editing the module accordingly.
