It provides a navigable knowledge resource that could be a valuable adjunct to teaching. First, there appears to be no guarantee that this indeed will provide comprehensive coverage. With this background, I looked at this project. This, to me, isn’t a bad thing! It’s possible, but not likely.

They’ve provided content and access to SMEs. I’m muddling my metaphor…:) It may not be that in practice, of course. There is a ‘faith’ that “if we build it, it is good” So, biz units can ask for a course, and get one. It’s like they think the job can be done with information.

When people are practitioners, that may be enough, but at some times it may also help to provide ‘challenges’ and provide feedback as well. Increasingly, I think one of the ways to scale my impact is to share my thinking, in context. That, however, doesn’t scale as well.

While it’s ideal to have an instructor in the loop to provide feedback, the asynchronous part means that’s hard to arrange. One of the mechanisms to support this is to provide a model answer to compare to the learners’ own response. For example a code solution, or a proposed social response.

Of course, your learning objectives should provide a guide. In general, I take it as organizing around the way users think about the content. Which is good for information, but not necessarily for learning. There should be a path from the learner’s initial state, through enabling objectives, to the final objective.

You provide the inputs, and give feedback on the decisions until they make them in the same way.Then they generalize to decisions that they haven’t had training on.

We can provide information (specifically mental models , examples , and feedback) to facilitate both initial acquisition and continual improvement, but we can’t just present information.

Leveraging what we know about cognitive science can provide us with structures and approaches that accommodate these factors. We need to do better. There’s complexity in learning design, both on the part of our learners, and ourselves as designers. That’s only true, however, if we are aware and actively address it.

You probably also need to provide some practice to deal with misconceptions. We’d need to create a large map.
