Addie Model Vs. Assure Model
SimilaritiesBoth models have stages for designers to follow.
The Addie Model consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. The Assure Model consists of six stages: Analyze Learners, State Objectives, Select Media and Materials, Utilize Media and Materials, Require Learner Participation, Evaluate and Revise. Both models ask the designer to analyze the learners and base their instruction off of their analysis. Both models intend to help learners reach instructional goals. |
DifferencesIn the selection stage of the Assure process (similar to the development stage of Addie) there is particular attention paid to the integration of technology. It is specified that you select media and the next stage mentions media again. Although the Addie Model does call for the designer to decide the mode in which their content will be presented, there is not as high of a focus on the use of technology.
The Addie Model does not have a particular stage for the role of the student. The only stage where the learning is taking place is in the implementation stage. However, the Assure Model has a stage called "Require Learner Participation" which focuses on the learner's role in the design. The Addie model does not specifically require the designer to identify how the learner will participate in the experience like the Assure Model does. Although both models include evaluation, they complete this differently. The Assure Model saves the evaluation for the end only, then using the results to revise. The Addie Model does have a summative evaluation at the end of its stages but also requires formative assessment through out the other stages of the process. |
