What is the ASSURE Instructional Design Model?
The ASSURE model aims to help teachers effectively implement technology into the classroom. It consists of six clear steps for planning instruction:
- Analyze Learners
- State Objectives
- Select Media & Materials
- Utilize Media & Materials
- Require Learner Participation
- Evaluate & Revise
Check out this video from Melissa Griswold for more details on each step of the model.
Why use the ASSURE Model?
The ASSURE Model helps teachers integrate technology with intention. It helps them to move beyond low-level use of technology such as “substitution” and “augmentation” to more advanced “modification” and “redefinition.” It also helps teachers cater to the specific needs of every learner by providing them with the specific technology they require to achieve their personal goals and objectives.
