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
