5 levels of needs indicate that a person can achieve a higher level of need only after the lower levels are satisfied, which suggests that people are motivated by different factors. Factors that may be unknown or difficult to discern.

What is described as a collection of strategies for quickly producing instructional packages that enable learners to achieve a set of specific learning objectives. This model involves alternatives, enhancements, and modifications to the ADDIE model in the form of trade offs between design and delivery.
