Core Attributes of Learning Content
Be it books, videos, games, simulations, or any other learning modality, content is at its very core and goes through multifold processing before it translates into a final product. Before content is acquired, massaged, written, and transformed into a script, educators, content developers, and instructional designers identify the learning objectives, preferably following the ABCD principle:
- Audience (who the learners are)
- Behavior (what should they be able to do after taking the course or module)
- Condition (under what circumstances and conditions)
- Degree (to what level of mastery or skill)
