Task 1

[Manar Abdelsalam]

1) Comparison Paragraph (5–7 sentences)

The ASSURE and ADDIE models are both structured instructional design frameworks but differ in approach and focus. ADDIE follows a linear, five-phase process guiding designers through analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. ASSURE, designed specifically for classroom use, has six steps that emphasize integrating technology and media, actively involving learners throughout instruction. Both models prioritize learner analysis and objective-setting, but ASSURE is more detailed and prescriptive, especially about media use and learner participation, while ADDIE offers a more flexible and adaptable framework.

2) Similarity and Difference

Both ASSURE and ADDIE emphasize analyzing learners and setting clear objectives as key starting points. However, ASSURE uniquely focuses on selecting and using media and technology throughout instruction, while ADDIE treats media more generally within its design and development stages without a specific emphasis on technology.

3) Personal Preference

I prefer the ASSURE model in my teaching because its clear, structured steps focus on analyzing learners and integrating technology. Its emphasis on active learner participation boosts engagement and retention. The model’s flexibility allows me to use various media and materials to support different learning styles, creating dynamic, student-centered lessons.

[Sarah Abdel Moaty]

great job , i agree with you in comparison ,similarity and difference but i prefer to use both models i think assure is more practical for teachers , but combining both gives structure (ADDIE) + classroom focus (ASSURE).

[Maha Hamdy]

I also prefer the ASSURE model because of its clear focus on the learner and the way it integrates technology throughout the lesson. I find the step that requires active learner participation especially helpful in keeping students engaged. While ADDIE is a solid framework, ASSURE feels more practical and classroom-friendly to me. Your explanation made those strengths stand out even more

[Sherif Abd El-Megeed]

I believe you have all right to prefer ASSURE model and I share your opinion, but in addition to the reasons mentioned, I believe that ASSURE model not only allows for the use of media and materials, but also allows for their modification before use and application.
