Summary of "What is the SAM Model of Instructional Design?"
Main Ideas and Concepts
- Introduction to Instructional Design Models: The video discusses two prominent instructional design models: ADDIE and SAM. While ADDIE is widely recognized, SAM (Successive Approximation Model) offers a more iterative approach.
- Comparison of ADDIE and SAM:
- ADDIE Model:
- Stands for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.
- Criticized for its linear, waterfall approach where each phase is completed sequentially.
- SAM Model:
- Focuses on iterative cycles (sprints) instead of a linear sequence.
- Aims to deliver a minimally viable product (MVP) quickly, allowing for ongoing testing and adjustments.
- ADDIE Model:
- Phases of the SAM Model:
- Preparation Phase: Similar to the analysis phase of ADDIE; involves gathering information and conducting needs analysis.
- Iterative Design and Development Phase: Create and implement an MVP (Alpha version) for evaluation.
- Subsequent Iterations: Make adjustments and re-implement as a Beta version, followed by the final version of the training.
- Choosing Between Models:
- Drawbacks of SAM:
- Potential for endless iterations leading to diminishing returns on investment (ROI).
- Perfectionism and stakeholder demands for constant changes can hinder progress.
- Integration of Both Models:
- The speaker encourages blending the best aspects of both models rather than strictly adhering to one. Flexibility in moving between phases as needed is emphasized.
Methodology / Instructions
- Using the SAM Model:
- Start with the Preparation Phase to gather information and conduct a needs analysis.
- Move to the Iterative Design and Development Phase to create an MVP.
- Evaluate the MVP and make necessary adjustments.
- Repeat the iterative process for further refinements (Beta versions).
- Finalize and roll out the complete training solution.
