What might learners hope or expect to have practiced, mastered or achieved after engaging with this component of the course? Consider how to articulate the origin and landscape of possible goals for this component of the course e.g those set outside the course context such as degree level expectations, those recommended by you as the facilitator and subject matter expert, and those that might be set by learners themselves.

.

What learning events will learners actively undertake (either individually or collaboratively) to support progress toward the stated learning objective/goals? Which of these strategies or events might occasion feedback from you the instructor? In cases where this is not the case, how might learners gauge their development or progress? Will all events be “required”? How might you incorporate learner agency or choice into these learning strategies?

In order to facilitate the learning strategies and events in this course component, what resources (e.g. readings, media artifacts, etc.) might you curate, develop or adapt?

What tools (digital or analog) will support learners in undertaking the identified learning strategies? What guidance or documentation will support users in the confident use of these tools?

What assessment and feedback methods will help to inform and improve learner progress toward the relevant learning objectives for this component? What assessment methods will provide evidence that learners have met the relevant learning objectives for this component?
