Guidelines for agile design1. Clear, broad learning
goals predetermined by instructor
2. Sub-goals negotiated with learners
3. Core learning materials/tools chosen by instructor
4. Other learning materials/tools identified/evaluated/applied by learners
5. Assessment based on pre-defined criteria (negotiated - or chosen by instructor?)

Conditions for success• Confident, skilled instructors
• Clear goals in terms of skills development for learners
• Proper preparation/orientation for learners
• Easily accessible and appropriate open resources and learning tools
• Flexible assessment methods that measure skills developed by learners

There must be a strong pedagogical
foundation in the design team
