Some instructional design models sell you the idea that a slow and steady process is the best solution. But some eLearning projects call for fast and furious instructional design. And that’s when the SAM model comes on the scene.
In this article, you’ll learn about the model and its phases and benefits. You’ll also learn why it can be a better solution than traditional approaches to eLearning development.
What Is the SAM Model?The Successive Approximation Model (SAM) is a rapid eLearning development process—short for “process model.” We’re talking about an iterative process that delivers eLearning solutions in a matter of weeks.
The first draft or prototype is the “approximation” of the final solution. And because it is “successive”—the SAM makes progress in small, quick steps.
