Learning tasks A context is set for the learning (eg learner cast as an employee needing to complete a task). Learners are led and directed through a sequence of information and idea descriptions/presentations which describe the knowledge/process steps and provide practice tasks. A final large practice activity enables the learners to practice the process in its entirety in a simulated workplace setting. Learning resources A sequence of tutorial settings describing and practising the discrete steps in the process. A simulated workplace supporting a consolidating practice activity. Learning supports Tutorials provide structured learning setting for understanding the process. Learners provided with online tutor who plays strong role in directing and providing feedback and support.
