3.1. Formative evaluation is conducted through all the stages of the course building to help understand the effectiveness of the steps and make changes accordingly

3.2. Summative evaluation is conducted at the end of the course to see how different participants (learners, instructors, clients) feel about the course, its clarity, effectiveness and feasibility

4. DESIGN stage deals with deciding on the content and specific activities/exercises of the course and assessment according to the analysis stage

4.1. Determine assessment content and form in accordance with the instructional goal and the instructional map

4.3.3. discussions

4.3.4. projects

4.3.5. worksheets

4.3.6. assessments

4.3.7. activities

5. DEVELOPMENT is the stage where specific content is created and tools and facilities are prepared and tested before the beginning of the course

5.1. Develop specific content and activities according to the design of the course

5.2. Run through the activities and tools to make sure they work as planned and match the time frames of the course

5.3. Provide channels for the feedback
