ASPI model
The ASPI model (Peraya et Jaccaz 2004) aims to describe dimensions and variables that can effect each process in the design, development, implementaion, evaluation and maintenance of innovative distance or hybrid learning.
Introduction
Analyser, Soutenir, et Piloter l’Innovation (ASPI) is a model to help designing educational innovation in higher education (Peraya et Jaccaz 2004, 283).

Structural variablesRefers to the different levels defined in an organizational system (ministries, federations, governmental agencies, institutions, faculties, departments, … individual) 1. Can you describe the origins of your learning project? When was it created and why?
* Administrative structures and organizations can offer opportunities and constraints. |
Learners, teachers, administrators, technicians, developers, researchers, instructional designers, project managers, change agents, etc. 2. Describe the actors involved in your project ?
* Certain actors can take on roles that are outside of their defined functions. This can leave gaps or lead to conflicts. Structures can also impede actors from taking on needed roles. What opportunities or difficulties do the roles and functions present? Do they structures to which the actors belong facilitate or hinder actors in their function within the project? |
Individual variables3. What are the major characteristics of the different actors as individuals and as members of a group?
|
Organizational variables4. How is the program managed? By whom? 5. How are the face-to-face and distance components organized? How is the passage from one modality to the other coordinated?
6. Is an evaluation of the program planned?
|
Pedagogical variables7. Can you describe your project’s pedagogical approach ? What are its main learning objectives ? What type of pedagogical scenarios are favoured ?
8. What functionalities are available?
9. How do students learn within your learning program?
10. Can you successfully argue that there is a coherence and alignment between learning objectives, the means and activities available and the evaluation criteria? 11. How are interactions between different actors accounted for?* * There can be multiple types of interaction: cognitive, meta-cognitive, social; learner-system, learner-learner, learner-instructor, instructor-system; formal or informal. |
12. What aspects or practices are particular to the discipline or field and its culture?
|
Economic variables13. How will the project be financed? Is it feasible within the foreseen budget?
|
Political variables14. Is the project supported by political or institutional bodies or authorities? By your hierarchy?
|
Ideological variables15. What values does your project promote?
|
In conclusion…16. How would you describe your project and its role in your professional context? Is it standard and accepted or is it innovative? In what ways? |
