learning program defined?
A learning program provides the basis for a cohesive and integrated learning process by outlining the processes of learning and assessment
![Page 7: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A learning program should identify
its purpose the target group, their needs and characteristicsthe outcomes to be achieved, such as the units of competency or other benchmarks the learning and assessment activities including any flexibilities with thisany required resources.

Essential Considerationsissue/problem/need what),characteristics and needs of learners (target audience who),changes intended for learners (intended outcomes what the learners will be able to do),the important and relevant content (what),methods to accomplish intended outcomes (how),evaluation strategies for methods, content, and intended outcomes (What works)
![Page 11: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Step 1:Analyse –define the parameters‘why, who and what’ of your learning program When designing a learning program, be sure you are clear on its purpose.
That is, why does it need to be designed? In broad terms, what outcomes will it achieve, how will it be used, and who will be involved?
![Page 12: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Phase I
(1) Identify The Issue / Problem / Needs
(2) Form Curriculum Development Team
(3) Conduct Needs Assessment and Analysis
![Page 13: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IDENTIFY THE ISSUE / PROBLEM / NEEDS
who is affected or involved,
the scope of the problem (issue) to be addressed by the curriculum, and
the consequences.
![Page 14: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Need assessment and analysis
"Start with what people already know and build on what they already have.“
A NEED OR GAP IS: Desired Performance- Actual = NEED
(What Should Be) -(What Is) = GAP
the difference between desired and actual performance are identified, it is time to categorize needs. Identify the type of needs by putting them into three categories (i.e., knowledge, attitude, or practices) and prioritize them.

Language, literacy and numeracy requirements
Do the target group learners require a certain level of LLN skills to be able to use and interpret the documentation used in the learning program?
Analyse the level of mathematical skill required. Is there any mathematical process or calculation which has to be carried out as part of the learning program?
![Page 30: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Generating options You have spent a lot of time gathering information and researching and analysing the parameters of the learning program. Now it is time to use that information to come up with some options for the type of learning program that will be designed.
![Page 31: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Activity Program structure
Consider your learning program. Is there one particular option shown above that best matches the way information should be clustered in your learning program? Document the structure your learning program will adopt on your learning program plan proforma.
![Page 32: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Timeframes The amount of time that will be allocated to the learning program will influence what your learning program covers, the extent of detail and how it can be broken down into sections or chunks to enhance learning. Your planning may be guided by a number of factors.
![Page 35: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Budget and costs Costs are almost always an important factor in any learning program. Management may see learning programs as an ‘extra’ rather than a ‘must have’ when running their business. When times are tough, learning programs may be postponed or reduced.
![Page 36: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Activity Timeframes, costs and logistics
Estimate timeframes, possible costs and logistics of your proposed learning program.
This information can be recorded on your learning program plan

Activity Learning program content
Provide samples of learning program content for your learning program. It can be contextualised from existing resources or newly developed materials.
![Page 41: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
learning program structure
A program delivery plan A program delivery plan is a tool to use for designing and developing a learning program. It outlines each component of the program, so you can see a clear breakdown of the program. It may be set against a timeline or it may show a series of sessions that make up the learning program.
![Page 42: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Activity- Proformas for program delivery plans
Consider the sample proformas that could be used to design a learning program delivery plan. Use these as a guide to developing a proforma to best suit your own requirements. Ask your colleagues if there is a format endorsed by your organisation.
![Page 44: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Assessment methods and toolsSome methods you may wish to include in your plan are:Assessment methodExampleReal work/real time activitiesLearners will be observed completing tasks or activities in their workplace and competence would be noted by the assessor or via a third party report (e.g. the supervisor)Structured activitiesSimulation exercisesDemonstrationActivity sheetsQuestioningOral, written or via computerPortfoliosCollections of evidence compiled by the candidateHistorical evidenceEvidence that shows proof of prior learning

Adjusting a learning programAfter undertaking the review process, there may be a number of recommendations made by reviewers. The designer of the program, together with the client or other appropriate personnel, needs to determine what adjustments should be made to the learning program to reflect the review outcomes.
![Page 49: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Final approvalOnce adjustments are made, the designer needs to gain final approval for the learning program from the appropriate personnel. Depending on your practice environment, this may be a:program managerhead of departmentsenior teacherapprenticeship or traineeship supervisortraining coordinator, manager human resource manager.
![Page 50: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Documenting the learning program
Activity Storage of documentation
Find out how learning program documentation is held safely and securely in your practice environment and ensure you know your responsibilities for documentation control.
![Page 51: Modular or part time learning program](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/546fa977af79597e508b4877/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Implementation
You now are in a good position to implement your learning program, confident that your planning is thorough and meets the identified needs of your learners.
Good luck!
