The six step ASSURE model assists instructors in planning lessons that effectively integrate the use of technology and media for learning (Smaldino et al., 2015).
The six step ASSURE model assists instructors in planning lessons that effectively integrate the use of technology and media for learning (Smaldino et al., 2015).
Within my institution, course and media design, teaching effectiveness, and learner onboarding are critically considered, and align closely with the ASSURE model. Prior to course creation, the learner audience is (A) analyzed for their characteristics, entry competencies, and learning styles (Smaldino et al., 2015). Once the audience’s needs are identified, the team seeks to explicitly identify and list learning objectives and (S) standards. This is achieved by identifying the audience within the stated objectives, identifying an actionable behavior within the objective, how the behavior should be observed, and the level of proficiency necessary to complete the course (Smaldino et al., 2015). Appropriate instructional (S) strategies are determined based on client format, which affects resources and delivery of content.
Upon analyzing the learners and identifying learning objectives, the team then plans for the (U) utilization of resources. Each course is assigned a team of six professionals that are responsible for its development and deployment. The team consists of an instructional designer, a content editor, a library resource liaison, a subject matter expert, a media specialist, and a project manager who ensures that the process moves smoothly and consistently remains on par with the clients desired outcomes. Each individual works to gather their respective needs and resources, prepare the environment, and eventually to deliver the learning experience (Smaldino et al., 2015).
Courses are intentionally designed to (R) require engagement and participation of the learner, and the team additionally ensures multiple opportunities for assessment and feedback. Finally, courses are (E) evaluated to ensure that content and resources are meeting the required learning objectives while simultaneously engaging the learner and assisting them in applying the learning event (Smaldino et al., 2015). Ultimately the intention of the ASSURE model within my work place is to ensure that a learner is receiving and applying a quality education, while courses have the opportunity to grow and develop in a cycle.
