economics
Macroeconomics is focused on the
movement and trends in the economy as a
whole, while in microeconomics the focus is
placed on factors that affect the decisions
made by firms and individuals. The factors
that are studied by macro and micro will
often influence each other, such as the
current level of unemployment in the
economy as a whole will affect the supply of
workers which an oil company can hire from,
for example.

Problem: Identify a problem and design a
prototype demonstration and application for a
portrayal of this problem.

Problems Non-Examples
• Organize content for our new
Internet and Intranet
• Effectively upsell products to
benefit the customer and
company
• Pack a kayak, within safety
guidelines, for overnight
wilderness camping
• Project managers are given a
bunch of documents that are
not complete, have errors, and
don't make sense. In order to
develop the scope they have
to figure out the direction and
plug gaps.
• Look at the pre-designed route
and identify inefficiencies.
• how to apply the information
learned to service customers
successfully
• new hire needs to have basic
understanding of
terms/business
• learners transitioning from the
legacy systems to the new
system
• locate the information
necessary to do the job
effectively

Progression: Design a simple to complex
progression of problem portrayals and
design a functional prototype
demonstration or application for each
portrayal in the progression.

progression of portrayals and design a
functional prototype demonstration and
application for each component skill.
