The AIM Model is a three-stage tool to help educators analyze, intend, and measure their use of digital technology in teaching and learning across six dimensions: investigating, motivating, differentiating, planning, collaborating, and assessing. The first stage involves understanding current practice, the second reflecting on changes and goals, and the third summarizing progress and next steps. Educators map where common tools like YouTube, Prezi, and Kahoot fall within each dimension as an analysis activity.

Analysis, Intention, Measure

2. The AIM model is a tool designed to capture how individuals are
currently using, and how they intend to use, digital technology in
teaching and learning.
They are split into six dimensions of teaching and learning and are
designed to be used in 3 stages:
1. Analysis stage to understand current practice
2. Intention stage to reflect on changes and to create movement
along the dimensions
3. Measure stage to summarise progress ands suggest next steps

3. The Six Dimensions
1. Investigating: finding and evaluating information relevant to your topic
2. Motivating: providing a stimulating and engaging environment
3. Differentiating: adapting your teaching for all learners
4. Planning: structuring your teaching and learning across time
5. Collaborating: harnessing peer knowledge to enhance learning
6. Assessing: undertaking formative and summative assessment
