During this phase, you must define the problem, identify the source of the problem and determine possible solutions. The phase may include specific research techniques such as needs analysis, job analysis and task analysis. The outputs of this phase often include the instructional goals, and a list of tasks to be instructed. These outputs will be the inputs for the Design phase.  Design  The Design phase involves using the outputs from the Ana...

Perhaps it is the years of conditioning and conformation to rules that smother our creativity tools.  Creativity is the mother of all new ideas and innovation.   It is that bright spark that leads to the development of revolutionary techniques and path-breaking inventions.   Breakthroughs in science and technology owe their origins to the creative genius of some people. Just think what would have happened had not Microsoft founder Bill Gates create the popular Windows software? Or what we would have done without the invention of the smartphone...
