Without a successful model in place, your training efforts miss the mark. They don't inspire change. They're not motivational, they're boring. Take content for example. These days, training provided by companies and organization is often burdened with content and lots of text, and it's much too light on learning experiences and opportunities to practice. Even e-learning technology that stands ready to present interactive video, animation, and graphics, tends to be laden with text-heavy presentations, delivered in a page-turning format.
Boring instruction is costly, damaging, ineffective, and wasteful. Consider the following effects that boring instruction has on learners. Lost learner attention. Gaining learner attention is critical to enabling instruction. No attention means no learning. Boring instruction dampens the learner's desire, ability to focus, and willingness to develop new skills and performance behaviors.
The Successive Approximation Model (SAM) is a particularly valuable process for the design and development of interactive learning events that are meaningful, memorable, and motivational. It is a fast, agile, and collaborative model that many instructional designers are using.
