Describe differences between SAMR and SECTIONS
With the availability of several multimedia tools and applications, it has become necessary to gauge which method to use for purposes of learning. In choosing any multimedia technology, it is vital to remember that the main purpose is the success of students in learning the concepts being taught. Therefore, teachers often wonder on how to choose from the different multimedia tools that are available. Two theories have come up that are used in the evaluation of the most appropriate tools at any particular time, SAMR and SECTIONS model.
SAMR
It stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition.
It should be noted that SAMR could be viewed as a ladder. A beginner starts at the Substitution to augmentation stage where they only replace the old way of doing things with the new technology. After this, they go to the transformation stage where they start from modification and go to redefinition.
SECTIONS Model
The word SECTIONS is an acronym of several words as shown in figure 2. In selecting a multimedia, it is important to work with SECTIONS.
Make sure that the multimedia covers the Students needs and Easy to Use. The media should be Cost effective while have all Teaching functions. In addition, it should allow for Interaction, Organizational compatibility, and Networking with outside experts. It should also be Secure.
