2.5 Curriculum Component (CC)

Figure: 2.4 An Illustration of the Learning Design Triangle and the Curriculum Component Sequence

• When creating a learning design, we generally begin by identifying the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) for the entire learning process.

•  

  Next, we divide the learning process into different phases, with each phase serving as a curriculum unit focused on specific outcomes.

•  

  Each unit comprises a sequence of learning tasks and assessments designed to achieve and evaluate the attainment of the defined set of ILOs within that unit.

•  

  In the LDT framework, we refer to a single curriculum unit as a Curriculum Component (CC), while a series of such components across different phases of learning is called a Curriculum Component Sequence.

We will then explore an example of the Curriculum Component Sequence for a STEAM subject in the coming section. This will help you gain a better understanding of what a Curriculum Component (CC) is and how it connects to the Learning Design Triangle.
