The Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation template can be downloaded and populated. Use the prompts to guide your preparation of the documentation required for the plan. The sections of the plan are also included in brief here.

Click on the expand button to the right of each component of the development plan to view the details:

Project Name
Think of a title.

Overview
Summarise the planned approach including background about the course and/or programme.

Aim and Objectives
The overarching intention of the development and how it will be carried out. Objectives are specific statements about what you plan to do.

Outcomes/Deliverables
What you will end up with once the plan is launched. (For example, open online resources using a variety of audio/visual media.)

Stakeholders
What are the diverse needs of the learners and the other stakeholders? (e.g., teachers, managers, industry, professional body and the tertiary sector).

Learning Strategies

Activities Under each learning outcome, decide on one main overarching activity - e.g., catching a baby (birth) , create a portfolio - add smaller activities under the main one. What is the main activity? What other activities can be added? Content What are the main source(s) of content? How will they be developed, re-formatted for flexible learning? For example, textbook, articles, lectures, presentations, video etc. What formats and media will be used? (written, audio, visual, video, etc.) What technologies and platforms will be used? Communication/interaction How will the learning be facilitated? (Synchronous or asynchronous, - self-directed or self-paced, group, individual.) For example, synchronous (face-to-face, online - web conference, shared documents, telephone, video conference), or asynchronous (self-directed, activities, discussions, feedback, project-work, portfolio etc.). What technologies will be used? Assessment How will the activities build and contribute to the assessment?(Formative, summative, informal and formal.) Check that the content, activities, and interactions help learners to develop skills and knowledge in preparation for the assessments. What else is needed to ensure these areas are aligned? Do the assessments help students demonstrate that they meet the learning outcomes?

Milestones and timeline for Objectives
What are the milestones for each objective? When will the milestones be achieved? List the milestones and associated objectives for each.

Resources
What resources will you need – when and why? (This can include personnel, materials, technologies etc..)

Evaluation
Use formative evaluation to get feedback on development and when you launch (implement) a pilot of the proposed learning design. Summative evaluation occurs at the end of the implementation. Decide on possible participants for the evaluations you plan to do - lecturers, experts, students, colleagues etc. What methods will you use to gather data? (survey, focus groups, interview etc..)

Portfolio Activity

Incorporate the evidence arising from your planning process into your portfolio, including: The completed development and implementation plan A reflective analysis of the planning process, including: How you consulted others. Problems or challenges you experienced. How you might go about it differently next time.
