Step 5 : Determine the design (type 1, 2 or 3)

Part 3: Macro planning

After you have determined the design type, you can apply it to your initial design concept – your basic learning sequence. The learning sequence describes how the learning will be presented ie the role of the element/s, performance criteria, scenario and tasks.

Complete the areas below you wish to include in your final learning design.
Select Save Changes when you have finished this page.

Example

Context for skills application

Describe the real-life industry context in which these skills will be applied.

Type of online learning

Describe how the learning object will replicate the application of skills in the real-life industry context. Will the learners work through all the elements in a step-by-step sequence? Will they problem-solve? Will they research information? Will they deal with a number of issues simultaneously and holistically?

Basis for learning sequence

Select a basis for the learning sequence, i.e. a central case study, scenario-based, a series of steps to complete, a problem to solve.

Relationship of elements/criteria to learning sequence

Describe how the competency elements/criteria relate to the learning sequence.

Level of guidance

Describe the level of guidance you will provide to the learners as they work through the learning object. Describe the level of learner support you expect from learners.

Learning sequence flowchart

Create a flowchart of the learning sequence. Refer to the example shown in the link above.

You will need to use flowchart software to create or modify this flowchart.

When you have completed it, Copy and Paste your file path to indicate the location of your flowchart.

Hint

To develop your learning sequence:

  • describe the context in which the skills are applied
  • decide what type of learning would support or replicate this effectively online, ie. would learners work through elements in a step-by-step sequence, would their work involve problem solving, would they be serving a customer, would they research information
  • select a basis for the learning sequence, ie a central case study, scenario based, a series of steps to complete, a problem to solve
  • describe how the elements and/or performance criteria fit into this sequence
  • describe the level of guidance you will provide for learners and the role they and their facilitators will take.
