Needs assessment

Basically, i fell that the three models seems quite comprehensive and complete. It explains in details how to proceed from each little details from the problem model to either discrepance model ot innovation model. My only doubt is that will it restrict the creativity of E-learning? As this models solve the solutions based on the existing problem. Of course, one cannot ignore the reality and disregard the current situation and the needs of everybody. However, i feel that this models could potentially missed some learning opportunity or potential. But maybe it's only because i have not fully understand the full potential of the whole process yet. On the whole, i think it is good that thorough evaluation and research have been done to understand the needs of the party concerned. While i agree that we should listen to the experts opinion on the discrepancy model, i think we shuold also take into the consideration of those who are non experts and listen to their views. As the experts are most likely to accept those E-learning methods better, it is important to know how those ordinary users feel about implementing E-learning course.
