  • 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 a specific group of outcomes.

  • Each unit includes a sequence of learning tasks and assessments designed to help students reach the ILOs and to evaluate how well they have achieved them.

  • In the LDT framework, a single curriculum unit is referred to as a Curriculum Component (CC), while a series of such components across different phases of learning is called a Curriculum Component Sequence. Together, these sequences cover all the ILOs.

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.
