Subprinciples Learning opportunities include a clear statement of intended learning outcomes, learning content that is appropriate to these outcomes, clear expectations of learner activities, flexible opportunities for interaction, and assessment methods appropriate to the activities and technologies. The selection and application of technologies for a specific learning opportunity are appropriate for the intended learning outcomes, subject matter content, relevant characteristics and circumstances of the learner, and cost range. Learning activities and modes of assessment are responsive to the learning needs of individual learners. The learning experience is organized to increase learner control over the time, place, and pace of instruction.
Learning outcomes address both content mastery and increased learning skills.
Individuals with specialized skills in content, instructional methods, or technologies work collaboratively as a design team to create learning opportunities. The learning design is regularly evaluated for effectiveness, with findings used as a basis for improvement.
