Learning Activities Template

Our learning activity template is used to create a concise overview of a learning activity. By answering the WH-questions, activities can be distinguished and combined not only with regards to organizational matters. The WHY question is the link to the learning goals based on the cognitive process and knowledge dimensions. Thus, the template assists to balance the granularity of selected activities, define intermediate goals, or align content and methods of activities.
