Title
Candidas. The Great Unkown (I)
Provided by
Daniel Burgos, Open Universiteit Nederland (daniel.burgos@ou.nl)
Pedagogy/type of learning
Knowledge dissemination (for IMS Learning Design)
Description/context
We provide a small course for Level A with actual content, small questionnaires after each learning
activity and a general quiz with the right answers in the end of the activity structure. We also
provide complementary reading material to support the main course
Learning objectives
This objective of this learning design is to give people an practical understanding of how a simple
learning design works, and how the components of a learning design come together with actual
content, following a sequential flow of a course with topics.
Roles
A single role, “learner” has been defined.
Different types of learning content used
Several web pages in HTML are provided as content resources
Different types of learning services/facilities/tools used
None
Different types of collaborative activities
None
Learning activity workflow (how actors/content/services interact)
“Candidas. The great unkown” Example Unit of Learning has five main parts:
Part I. An introduction about the topic
Part II-Part IV. Several aspects of Candidas to be studied
Part V. A general quiz about the contents
Besides, you have partial questionnaires after II, III and IV
You can find all the answers in a last appendix
In parallel, some additional resources (not required) are provided as complements of main parts
