The ASSURE model incorporates Gagne's events of instruction to effectively use media and technology in teaching. It answers questions about using technology for content delivery and assessment and determining what technologies best fit a course. This model provides a comprehensive process for selecting media and materials based on learner profiles and needs, reducing uncertainty. While the ASSURE model engages learners through varied assessments and content delivered via technology, a limiting factor is learners' inconsistent access to technology in the writer's country. Educators must maximize available traditional and digital resources. No design is perfect, so improving existing models is necessary.

REFLECTION ON ‘ASSURE MODEL’
By: Jericko Magistrado
This model incorporates Gagne’s events of instruction to assure effective use of
media and technology in instruction. Because of ASSURE model’s emphasis on using educational technology in improving teaching and learning, it answers my questions of the early stage of my teaching journey such as why needs technology in content delivery or course assessment, what technology works best for a course context, and how to use technology in enhancing learning experience. This model will help me relieve pressure in selection of technology and tools because of its comprehensive media and material selection process that anchors on the audience or learners’ profile and learning needs. I won’t have to guess what works best or what nots, the uncertainty of teaching and learning will be close to none. In the era of technology and most of the learners today are keen to these stuffs, we get the best of both aspects. Especially with the global health crisis we are facing today and the demands on enhancing e-learning and blended learning due to the remoteness of the learners. ASSURE Model is probably the best way to enhance learning amidst the pandemic with technology and media. Also, because ADDIE is based on the development of the instructional materials, while ASSURE allows for the fact that often –useful materials already exist that can be used as is, or slightly modified to accommodate the instruction, ASSURE model has its best-fit in enhancement not new development. By integrating a variety of assessment and content delivery methods through technology and media, an online course or blended learning could engage learners with incredible interaction and connection. However, the learners’ accessibility of different technology and media is a limiting factor to this model especially here in our country. All students may have phones but not all of these phones are ready for online learning, internet access may vary in different areas and other high end gizmos are limited. Pre-teachers and teachers alike will just have to maximize all resources and make use of traditional materials and media. Because there is not a “perfect” design forever, it is necessary to improve an existing instructional design product by any possibilities.
