The purpose of this course is not only about following a systematic process and designing course materials, but rather making course participants critical about their process so that they can discover what features worked, what they would have done differently and what components were necessary but needed more practice. As learners, we selected an instructional topic and systematically composed, built and layered works until our topic was complete with courseware including performance objectives, rubrics, assessment items and strategies such as anecdotes and advance organisers. This was achieved through following the Morrison, Ross and Kemp model. In small groups, we asked each other questions, discussed, disagreed, motivated, suggested and critiqued each other’s work by providing positive and or negative feedback and giving plausible justifications for our comments. This helped to reinforce the learning community synergy and social learning. Overall, this course prepares learners to train individuals by equipping them with a framework. For better enhancement of that framework, learners should reflect so that they can make rational modifications for later use in their careers.
