Curious about what order everyone designs in. I typically create the assessment first, build the objectives out of the test questions, then format the slides according to the order of the objectives, then build in content from there. I'm interested in hearing of other methods. :)
- TroyEngeldinger10 years agoCommunity MemberI have always gotten my objectives based off of a task analysis done for the job or content that I am trying to design a course for. Using the Langevin model to determine the most important tasks, setting priority and order content based off of that and then creating content for each specific task. I design the assessment based off of the finished content structure.
- LilaElliott9 years agoCommunity MemberI like to go with what is the end objective/ behavior change that the course is trying to achieve and build from there. I currently work at a software company. We would like to see a higher adoption and implementation rate of some of our newest features that not all of our clients are using.
So I start with the meta goal of "At the end of this course, I want x% of learners to enable y feature. " That is the overall goal of the course and how I'll measure if it was successful. So I try and build both the content and assessments from there.
I'm also fortunate that where I work has allowed me to use e-Learning as one of main tactics for achieving our business goals. So it makes it easy to align the two. - HEATHERDOWLI2632 months agoCommunity MemberI use action mapping (Cathy Moore) https://blog.cathy-moore.com/#gref to define what people need to do and why they're not doing it - i.e. learning outcomes as a starting point. I work in a vocational space so that works for me. I think an e-learning heroes challenge to make learning objectives more interesting so people actually engage with them would be a great one!
