What is the SAM Model of Instructional Design?

#InstructionalDesign #eLearning #ADDIE #SAM
There are several different design and development models in the world of instructional design and eLearning development. And while ADDIE is the most commonly used and widely known model within the industry, it's often criticized for its lack of flexibility, which is why it's often categorized as a waterfall model, where each step is completed sequentially.

However, the SAM model of instructional design, also known as the "Successive Approximation Model," is another model that rearranges the five steps of the ADDIE process into a series of sprints, allowing for a greater level of iteration. And for this reason, the SAM model is often categorized as an agile model.

So, in this video, I'll share an overview of the SAM model of instructional design, along with how it compares to the ADDIE model and my thoughts on when you should use each one for your instructional design and eLearning projects.
