This involves specifying the 1) intended learning outcomes, 2) disciplinary practice, and 3) pedagogical approach. Figure 5.2: Learning Design Triangle Section 5.2.1 Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) 🌟 For guidance on developing strong ILOs, refer to Chapter 2.2 - Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) In the Learning Design Studio (LDS), there are four categories of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs): Disciplinary Knowledge : The core concepts, theories, facts, and frameworks that are recognized and developed within a particular field or area of study. Disciplinary Skills : The specific techniques, methods, and competencies associated with a particular field or area of study. Generic Skills : The broad abilities that help people succeed in education, work, and daily life, regardless of a particular field or area of study. Values & Attitudes : The beliefs, principles, and dispositions that guide a person's behavior, decision-making, and interactions with others. Adding a New ILO  There are two ways to add a new ILO: (1) writing it yourself, or (2) using the ILO patterns. 1. Adding a New ILO - Writing it Yourself You will write the full ILO to indicate what students is expected to achieve as a result of the learning process.  Figure 5.3: Adding a New ILO If you have not added any ILOs before, you can click the  or button to add a new ILO. Figure 5.4: Interface of the ILO Builder (1) We will review each field in the ILO Builder below. 1. Subject/Discipline(s)     Figure 5.5: Interface of the ILO Builder (2)   Select the appropriate discipline(s) for each ILO as needed. 2. Category   Figure 5.6: Interface of the ILO Builder (3)   Select the category of ILO: Disciplinary Knowledge, Disciplinary Skills, Generic Skills, or Values & Attitudes . 3. Bloom's Taxonomy Level   Figure 5.7: Interface of the ILO Builder (4)   Select the Bloom’s Taxonomy level that best reflects the intended skill, knowledge, or value for this outcome (e.g., Remember, Apply, Evaluate). Figure 5.8: Writing a ILO with the Learning Design Facilitator   After selecting the Bloom’s Taxonomy level, the Learning Design Facilitator will recommend suitable action verbs to help you formulate your ILOs. Choose the appropriate action verb that best reflects the skill, knowledge, or value targeted by your ILO. 4.

The pedagogical approach details will be auto-filled into the LDS. Figure 5.25: An Example of a Completed Pedagogical Approach   5.3.1 Creating Curriculum Components (CCs) Part 1 After completing the Learning Design Triangle (LDT) to establish the contextual framework for the entire learning design, we will explore how to develop Curriculum Components (CCs) and learning tasks that align with these elements, transforming overarching design concepts into actionable teaching practices. For a detailed theoretical explanation of Curriculum Components (CC), see  Chapter 2.5 – Curriculum Component Sequence . The following instructions will guide you in creating the first CC for your learning design. Creating the First CC The first Curriculum Component (CC) marks the beginning of the course,  "Designing for the Wise." It is designed to help learners get started and build a strong foundation for subsequent learning. CC1 prepares students by developing their skills in identifying problems and goal-setting for the inquiry. Step 1: Adding a New CC Figure 5.27:  Adding a New CC By clicking the  button , you can open the CC builder. Step 2: Mapping the LDT Elements to the CC Figure 5.28: The Interface of the CC builder Please read the introduction below to guide you in creating a CC. 2.1 CC Name   💡Formula of naming a CC Through the  1)  focal task(s) to  2) achieve the intended learning outcome  to  3) implement the workflow step(s) of a disciplinary practice  for  4) applying the focus or foci of the pedagogical approach .   E.g. Through  1) stimulus observation and conducting interviews with the elderly to 2) understand their unique needs and daily challenges to 3) identify problems for 4) goal-setting .   2.2 Workflow steps   Figure 5.29: The Workflow Steps of Engineering Design   The workflow steps of Engineering Design are drawn from the Disciplinary Practice (DP) section you completed previously. Select "Identify problem" for this CC. 2.3 Pedagogical foci   Figure 5.30: The Pedagogical Foci of Self-directed Learning     The pedagogical foci of Self-directed Learning are drawn from the Pedagogical Approach section you completed previously. Select "Goal-setting" for this CC. 2.4 Linked Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)   Finally, we will select the ILOs to be achieved in the CC, ensuring they align with the chosen workflow steps of disciplinary practice and pedagogical approach within the specific phase of learning.   2.4.1. The Link Button             Figure 5.31: Linking the ILOs to a CC (1)   You can view all the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) entered in the LDT section by clicking the button.   2.4.2 Selecting the Appropriate ILOs   Figure 5.32: Linking the ILOs to a CC (2)   E.g. Identify the unique needs and challenges that elderly face in their daily lives. Demonstrate openness to elderly perspectives in design discussions.    2.4.3 The Alert Icon and Complete Icon   Figure 5.33: Unassessed ILOs in a CC   For each learning outcome, you should add an assessment to evaluate student performance. If an assessment has not been added to a learning outcome, an alert icon will appear as a reminder. Once an assessment is assigned, this will be replaced with a complete icon  . We will discuss how to assign an assessment in the next section.   2.4.4 The Unlink Button   Figure 5.34: Dissociating the ILOs from the CC   You can dissociate a specific ILO from the CC by clicking the   button. 5.3.2 Creating Curriculum Components (CCs) Part 2 Creating the First CC (Cont.) Step 3: Creating the Task Sequence for the CC After deciding on the intended learning outcomes, workflow steps, and pedagogical focus of the CC, the next step is to assign and sequence the learning tasks and assessments. Below is an example of a completed CC with well-sequenced tasks and assessments, which we will examine in this section. Figure 5.35: An Example of a Completed CC 3.1 Creating a Task We will use the "Conducting Client Interviews to Identify Design Needs"  task to demonstrate how to add a task Figure 5.36: Adding New Learning Task(s) By clicking the  button , you can open the Task builder.
