Learning design

Leaning design comprises of task, resources, and support. Although I think the learning design seems to help us identified the learning process, I do think it is a bit too simplified. This model seems to suggest that learning is a linear process, although we can see clearly what are the learning activities through this model, I think it is hard to decide how much the students are able to learn in the process. It does not take into the account about the students that have a hard time keeping up with the learning activities. Also, it is very task oriented and seems to be pretty rigid to me.

Dear Yan Li, I feel that 3-face model is not a model of including this and excluding that. :) It helps use to stay focus on the main cause(s) of learning / performance and address those causes.

The LD process need not be linear; it is up to you as learning designer to have as many concurrent activities as possible. More importantly LD embrace change and is able to make mid-stream changes for best learning experiences.
