The learning aim is the big goal that the learner need to achieve by the end of the course or unit.

The learning objectives are the elements that the learner need to understand throughout the process step by step. The learning aim is on the peak of the pyramid and the objectives are the steps that will help the learner reach this peak.

For example:

Learning aim: Enable students to write a structured opinion essay to persuade readers to recognize and respect their opinion.

Learning objectives:

By the end of the 4 sessions students will be able to write a 3-paragraph form essay on the assigned topic stating their opinion clearly, providing at least three supporting reasons with examples, and using appropriate linking words with no more than six grammar mistakes.

specific –  state their opinion clearly

measurable – provide 3 supporting reasons

achievable – use linking words

time bound- 4 sessions

Both are models of instructional design which are functioning in a systematic manner. They are used to enhance the educational process. They make training activities and lessons more efficient.  The ADDIE model has defined steps: Analyze – Design – Develop – Implement – Evaluate. It is a wide framework that is applicable to various  types of instructional design.

The ASSURE model can be considered as an upgrade to the ADDIE model. It follows the five steps : Analyze- State – Select – Utilize- Require- Evaluate. It shares the same focus on analysis, however, the ASSURE model is based on the use of technology and media. It depends on technology to accomplish the desired learning objectives.

I prefer using the ADDIE model with its specific design of plan as it can be applied for various types of lessons. Also, I sometimes use the ASSURE model by imbedding technology in my lesson plan when it is serving the objectives of the lesson.

Great interpretation Zainab <3

Although I prefer the ADDIE model for setting my lesson, I do apply the ASSURE model to be more engaging for the students in specific lessons.
