Puentedura’s brief presentation introduces SAMR as a four-level model for examining how digital technology changes a learning task.
Key ideas
Substitution replaces an existing tool without functional change; augmentation adds functional improvement; modification enables substantial task redesign; and redefinition makes possible tasks that were previously difficult or inconceivable. The first two levels are grouped as enhancement and the latter two as transformation. The presentation situates SAMR alongside other frameworks and emphasizes movement through levels in relation to learning goals rather than treating technology use itself as improvement.
Why it matters
Its value is a compact vocabulary for discussing task design and asking whether a tool merely digitizes an established practice or changes what learners can create, investigate, communicate, and accomplish.
