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

 8. Assessment 

   

 

 

 

 Figure 5.45: Triggering the Assessment Option in a Task 

 

 

 A learning task can also serve as an assessment. 

   

 If you select the assessment option, you will need to 

   

 

 assign the feedback provider(s), and 

 specify  the targeted learning outcomes for this task to be assessed 

 

 e.g. Demonstrate openness to elderly perspectives in design discussions

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 9. E-learning Tool 

   

 

 

 Figure 5.46: Interface for Adding E-learning Tool(s) to a Task 

 

 

 The e-learning tools section allows you to select the type of tool you want to use to implement the task. 

   

 For example, if you want to create a space for students to submit their homework, you can choose the Assignment tool, as demonstrated here. 

 

 

 

 

 10. Resources 

 

 

 Figure 5.47: Interface for Adding Resource(s) to a Task 

 

 

 The resource section allows you to select the type of resource or tool you want to use to support the learning process. 

   

 For example, you can upload the interview guiding questions and the interview skills rubric for use in the course.

 The task appears in the CC page. 

 

 3.2 A Quick Reminder 

 

 Figure 5.49: Preview of a CC 

 

 

 The LDS will remind you to assign assessments to any unassessed learning outcomes within the CC. 

 

 * You can continue adding more tasks to complete your Curriculum Component (CC), and add additional CCs to finalize your learning design by repeating the steps mentioned above.
