In the SAM method of development, the actual development drives the data. Instead of trying to perfect the initial iteration, SAM eLearning development allows quick solutions that can be tested and challenged until reaching the finish line. In fact, a good SAM designer can tell you that the 2nd, 3rd, or even 10th iteration often takes more time than the first attempt. With new, real-time data points and analysis, designers can perfectly tailor the user experience to the learner.
The SAM model of instructional design helps designers see that their initial proposal can be shaped, molded, and sometimes scrapped altogether. Failing is OK, especially when you fail forward to a better solution. This makes it much easier to go back to the drawing board when something isn’t working. With the SAM approach, you’ll see less dedication to specific ideas and more of an inclination to real solutions, mined from current data, collaboration, and the reality of a tight deadline.
