The ASIPIE Instructional Design Model is comprehensive, effectively illustrated, and easy to navigate.

It is based on some of the most well-known models and includes the necessary elements found in the NTeQ, ASSURE, Dick and Carey, and ADDIE models. The hybrid of those models includes more detail that is helpful in the development of IT based lessons.   The model is graphically illustrated so that it is easy to understand and follow. All of the feedback from other students mentioned the clear, professional looking diagram and how easy it was to view the steps. The steps are clearly organized and the arrows allow the reader to see how some variation can be incorporated depending on specific situations. The use of color in the diagram allows the reader to easily identify various ways to navigate the flow chart.
 * It is Comprehensive**
 * 1) Analyze learners: this step from the ASSURE model is also found as "Analyze" in the ADDIE model. The Dick and Carey model has a step, "Identify entry behaviors" that is similar to this step in that the analysis of learners depends on an understanding of what they know and need to know to be successful in the lesson.
 * 2) Specify the objectives: this step from the NTeQ model is also found as "Identify instructional goals" in the Dick and Carey model, and "State objectives" in the ASSURE model.
 * 3) Specify the problem: this step from the NTeQ model is a specific part of the "Design" step in the ADDIE model.
 * 4) Instructional analysis: this step to determine the skills involved in reaching a goal from the Dick and Carey model is another specific step that is not seperately identified in more general models such as the ADDIE and ASSURE models. However, it does fit into the "Design" step in the ADDIE model.
 * 5) Plan the results presentation: this step from the NTeQ model is a specific part of the "Design" step in the ADDIE model.
 * 6) Plan the assessment: this step was moved up in the order from the NTeQ model, but is also found in the "Design" step of the ADDIE model, or "Develop formative evaluation" from the Dick and Carey model.
 * 7) Plan activities before computer, at computer and after computer: this step from the NTeQ model is an integral part of the "Develop" stage of the ADDIE, "Select methods, media, and materials" from the ASSURE model, and "Develop instructional materials" from the Dick and Carey model.
 * 8) Plan supporting activities: this specific step from the NTeQ model can be found as an element of many of the other models.
 * 9) Implementation: this step from the ADDIE model can be found in the ASSURE model as "Require learner participation."
 * 10) Evaluate: this step from the ADDIE model is found in the NTeQ model as "Assessment," in the Dick and Carey model as "Develop and conduct summative assessment," and the ASSURE model as "Evaluate are revise."
 * Effectively Illustrated and Easy to Navigate**



Revision  The feedback for the ASPIE model included praise for the visual design, and suggestions of ways to improve the linear process so that it is more circular. It was noted by David Lloyd in his feedback on the project that, “... the model is essentially a linear process without any points of connection/feedback between the start and end of the instructional process – that is not representative of the more common view that the design of instruction is an ongoing process.” In the discussion forum, David Eddy commented, "I would like to see some indication that it is possible to jump back to any stage of the model at any point in time. For example, once you begin 'implementing' the instruction, is it possible to revisit and update the 'plan computer activities' stage? Therefore, I would like for you to consider some way to increase the flexibility of the model.”

With this feedback, I revises the model and included arrows that allow the user to return to the earlier stages in the model. This reduces the linear flow of the model and allows for revisions. This is more consistent with models such as the NTeQ which is a circular process, and the Dick and Carey which is partially cyclical.
