The Profiling Phase includes these questions: What does the
learner know? What does the learner need to know? And what way
does the learner learn best? The Strategizing Phase includes
these questions: What resources do I have? What will constitute
the learning journey? Who will do what? The Ascertainment Phase
includes these two questions: How do I check that the learner
achieved the outcomes? How will I report this?
How do we do that?
Work with Subject Matter Experts to identify what students need
to learn Develop objectives and ensure content matches those
objectives Revise and rewrite content to shape it for learning
needs Structure content and activities for student learning
Create media to support learning (e.g., visual aids for
face-to-face, various multimedia for e-learning and online)
Develop assessments (note that this does not only mean tests)
Adapt instructional materials created for one format to another
format (usually this is adapting materials from face-to-face to
e-learning)
