31. Conclusions and Long-Term Planning
Emerging Learning Design
The project will be developed in phases
Initial steps for phase 1:
• Conceiving the visual metaphors for concepts
• Developing small, focused instructional assets to
present/explain/demonstrate each concept, provide opportunities
for practice, and assessment
• Through these focused assets, provide immediate and specific
feedback for students
• Gather information about effectiveness of specific learning
processes/experiences to benefit instructional practice, asset
development, and learning
• Provide accessible, meaningful, and timely data
