Learning tasks

Learning designs are overarching frameworks describing planned learning experiences. At the fundamental level of a learning experience are learning tasks which represent discrete activities undertaken by learners. A learning task is essentially something which a learner undertakes which has a defined endpoint or outcome.

Examples of learning tasks include:

1. Reading a section of text
2. Completing a checklist
3. Undertaking a quiz
4. Searching the web to find some information
5. Participating in an online discussion
6. Adding reflections to a blog
7. Completing an online tutorial
