Design
Now that I had a pretty clear picture of the overall learning approach, I was ready to move on to the next phase: Design. This step involved planning, review and revision; planning, review and revision and more planning, review and revision. This became my juggling act.
I began by deconstructing the course and reoganizing the content into manageable chunks of information. The goal was to move the students through the course sequentially without confining them to weekly activities. I decided to create Learning Units, a one-stop shop for all their topic needs.
Once completed, I needed to step back and take a look at the design as a whole not just as individual pieces. Was there a flow? Did it make sense? This of course, led to more rearranging...
