I used this presentation to discuss how to organize content when writing training materials. This presentation includes an awesome infographic designed and published by Hot Butter at http://www.hotbutterstudio.com/#/alps/
So, you are here. You already did your analysis and you are looking at a list of tasks… an unordered lists of tasks.
In other words, you are still in the project plan document, somewhere between parts 4 and 5.
So you have already looked at the limiting criteria (frequency, complexity, and criticality) AND you have already considered types of knowledge.
You are starting to think about performance objectives. But wait….Where did our course level performance objectives come from??????Also, I want you to wait again, because you are going to put these objectives in an order. Then you are going to write enabling objectives (again often times in an order….) all of which is going to dominate your course….
Stop! Just wait for a second….
One of the areas, I feel I have failed to emphasize in the past is how you get from that task list to the objectives lists….

And remember the sequencing techniques we talked about before…
ALSO continue to write in chunks….
Remember to keep asking questions … particularly….
In short….There is nothing…. Keep shuffling and studying the content until you feel you’ve got it “right.”There is no easy answer. There is no universal formula.When I say “It’s just a suggestion, or it is just my opinion.” I am not trying to be nice. There really isn’t a one “correct” solution.

Just think visually… We want to move as far from (the top) and as close to the bottom as possible, right?It is easier to learn when we can see recognizable patterns.
