2. What are some popular ID models? Which models are best for which contexts?

Behaviorism is the idea that everything you do (acting, thinking, feeling) are regarded as behaviors and that pyschological disorders are best treated by altering behavior patterns. Cognitivism focuses on the inner mental activities. Examples of cognitivism models include using advanced organizers and concept mapping. Prescriptive design are typical guidelines to be followed in design. Examples models of prescriptive design are the Dick and Carry model, the ARCS model, and the ADDIE model.

3. Why would evaluation be something to consider up front?
