To create a courseware that helps in achieving the objectives, a framework for the development of instructional coursework in five part should be taken care. Which is being called as ADDIE:

- Analysis

- Design

- Development

- Implementation

- Evaluation

The ADDIE Instruction Design Process consists of 5 basic steps: 

1. Analyze 
First of all, you will be need to analyze your learners and through the observation, identify what is the possible thing your learners need from the courseware. Also consider what objectives should be prepare for them to achieve.


2. Design 
You need to identify the learning objectives  and what specific skills that you wish your students to obtain?After that, you will also needed to identify the outcomes of the learning and ensure your students achieve your learning objectives.


3. Develop

Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) is any form of communication between two or in a group of people via network connection. The way to communicate can be in various ways such as through Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and etc.

CMC had started in 1980s era and start develop well throughout 1990s era. CMC had been actively used since the existence of forums and email. Back then in, the internet chat room was developed which allows direct communications. It has been implemented for long distance teaching or learning.


CMC would be divided into two which is Asynchronous & Synchronous types of CMC.

Asynchronous CMC:
Communication is not synchronized and often received late reply. The messages are not expected to be reply directly. E-mails, blogs, internet boards and message boards are part of the examples.

Synchronous CMC:
Communication between participants is synchronized and often being expect to be reply directly. It allows for direct communication and this type of CMC had been widely used nowadays. Internet messenger such as WhatsApp, Telegram and etc is part of our necessity in communication.

However, every technologies had their own advantages and disadvantages. As for CMC, though it seems beneficial in many ways, it could be sometimes bring disadvantages to the users.
