ITC: 139 - Putting SAM to Work in Your Classroom - A Rapid Design And Development Model

When I was in the Air Force, I had taken courses on instructional systems design or ISD. I learned about Gagné's 9 Events of Instruction. As I was pursuing my degrees, I was exposed to ADDIE, which is a waterfall design method. Along the way, I also learned about agile programming and its underlying methodology. During my exploration, I learned how to apply agile programming to instructional design. I was not the only one seeing the connection. Dr. Michael Allen developed a more rapid design methodology called SAM or the Successive Approximation Model. It uses agile iterative design as its core to test and improve ideas. The goal is to develop working modules quicker. You prototype a solution, test it, and then make updates. This week, we are going to take a closer look at SAM and how it can be useful for your course design. Come learn more.
