W2 Activity/Discussion: Developing Learning Outcome/Objective Scenarios
Directions: Reflect on the information presented in the module this week regarding Bloom’s Taxonomy and how learning outcomes/objectives should be developed based on the context of the situation presented. Review the scenarios provided in this week’s worksheet and review the situation. You must determine an appropriate terminal outcome/course goal and develop learning outcomes to align with the goal you have created. Remember, learning outcomes must align with the goal you determined. Conclude the activity with a brief summary of action steps you would address with a Subject Matter Expert (SME). You must complete both scenarios and submit your activity to the discussion forum by providing a link to your document. You may copy/paste the information below. Or, complete the template in the hyperlink. Scenarios
Scenario #1: For the past ten years, KawKan has been using a lean manufacturing approach in the assembly of their motorcycles. Over that decade, business has remained strong, but operational costs have continued to increase despite increased sales every year. Management has considered the idea it might be time to switch from the Lean process to a more robust continuous improvement model. Since the company is immersed in the practice of Lean manufacturing model, the management team is not familiar with the basic elements in the continuous improvement model. Management has asked you to prepare a presentation outlining the continuous improvement process and how implementing how it can improve the overall manufacturing output. The designated contacts for this project include the director of supply chain management and the director of continuous improvement for production.
Your role: Assume the role of an instructional designer developing an outline for a training resolution. How would you address the following to correctly identify the learning outcomes/objectives for this project:
Goal description
Terminal Outcome
“At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to…”
Learning outcomes
“At the conclusion of this (module/activity/section), participants will be able to…”
Potential Subject Matter Experts/Define their role in the project:
Scenario #2: MedPat is a moderate-sized medical device manufacturer with offices, distribution centers, and production facilities scattered across North and South America. The company’s growth has primarily been done through the acquisition of smaller and competing businesses in the same market. Given the degree of displaced locations, different operating procedures, and non-integrated systems, the operations have become too strenuous. One of the larger sites has been chosen as a test site to harmonize the setup and production of the company’s new devices. Soon, other sites will be manufacturing this same device too. MedPat needs to remove itself from a paper-based operation because it slows down production, the records are hard to consistently manage, and it leads to communication issues with the site and field reps. The designated contacts for this initiative consist of a process improvement expert and the vice president of production.
Your role: Assume the role of an instructional designer developing an outline for a training resolution. How would you address the following to correctly identify the learning objectives for this project:
Goal description
Terminal Outcome
“At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to…”
Learning objectives/outcomes
“At the conclusion of this (module/activity/section), participants will be able to…”
