Type 2: Task-guided

Characteristics

This learning design is characterised by the following:

• learning is set within a realistic context, task-oriented approach (eg resolving a problem scenario; completing a project)
• the learner acts as an employee/worker within a virtual workplace
• the learner is guided through a series of activities designed to achieve the pre-determined product/endpoint
• the activities cause the learner to deal with the inherent content and information through decisions and reflections needed to complete the activity
• gaps in knowledge are self-identified by learners and filled as needed through accompanying resources
• the learning finishes with the completion of the product/task
• learning is assessed through measures of success in holistic tasks involving application of knowledge.
