Assignment 4

Designing Curriculum for Your LMS

Scenario

Now that you have identified an LMS for the organization that you created for the Week 3 assignment (Front-End Needs Analysis), you need to determine several assets that you would include in your courses or training. You will also need to decide if the material will be delivered synchronously, asynchronously, or as a hybrid of the two.

Instructions

Write a two 2–4-page paper in which you:

1. Determine at least four different learning assets (e.g., lecture, video, discussion, test or quiz, etc.) that can be integrated into the LMS.
   
   Note: At least two of the assets that you determine should be interactive.


2. Determine the delivery modality (i.e., synchronously, asynchronously, or as a hybrid) for each asset that you have identified and how the related delivery modality will work the best for your organization. Provide a rationale for your response.


3. Create an outline of five curriculum objectives that support your learning assets and provide one sample for each chosen learning asset for the curriculum.
   
   Note: The samples can be short and simple depending on your course topic. The goal is to test whether the assets work functionally in the LMS. The sample file pages are not included in the required assignment page length.
   
   Note: You may use assets that you created from other courses (e.g., EDU522, etc.).


4. Specify the key stakeholders who are responsible for managing the assets and what criteria they will use to manage.


5. Analyze how each asset enhances the educational goals of your course and examine the ways in which the LMS supports those goals.


6. Provide at least three reliable, relevant, peer-reviewed references (no more than one used previously), published within the last five years that support the paper’s claims.
