The ASSURE model is a media-oriented evolution of the ADDIE models. The ADDIE model and the ASSURE model each offer a step-by-step approach for teachers (or instructional designers) to follow. Each has their own unique phrases for the steps but the overarching principles are similar.
The structure of both the ASSURE model and the ADDIE model are similar with each having a focus on choice and emphasis on the materials used and tools selected for communicating throughout the learning experience
Each model also shares similarities on the perspective of the design process , both focus on the design process itself and not the end result . Both Examine the learner or the participants for which the learning actives are designed.
The Difference between ADDIE and ASSURE models is that the ASSURE Model focuses on the integration of technology it emphasizes the use of technology .
ADDIE is based on the development of the instructional materials while ASSURE allows for the fact that often useful materials already exists that can be used as is or slightly modified to accommodate the instruction
I prefer using ASSURE in the class because it is emphasizing the use of media and technology to accomplish goals and objectives especially it helps a lot with elementary students as Videos grab their attention and makes them actively engage with the content
