SAM Model

The SAM Model, or Successive Approximation Model, is an iterative instructional design approach used to develop educational and training materials. Unlike traditional linear models, SAM emphasizes a cyclical process of repeated prototyping, testing, and refining to create more effective and engaging learning experiences. This model encourages constant collaboration and feedback among designers, subject matter experts, and learners, ensuring the final product is both practical and user-centered. The SAM model typically involves three main phases: preparation, iterative design, and iterative development, allowing for flexibility and continuous improvement throughout the project.

SAM model is the agile alternative to ADDIE emphasizing iterative design and feedback.
