Here is my learning design:
Context
This e-tivity has been designed to be part of an introductory management course called Moving into Management. This course is aimed at learners entering or recently promoted to management positions for the first time. The course is 12 weeks with an expectation of learners studying for no longer than 10 hours per week. All learning activities and resources will be online and facilitated through Moodle. This particular e-tivity is planned for week 4 of the course. This course is practical in nature, recreating the expected scenarios, challenges and difficulties new managers will face. This elearning course will comprise of a series of e-tivities where elearners are required to engage online sharing their ideas, opinions and experiences. Throughout this course, learners are encouraged to self-reflect creating a realistic self-image – by developing their self-awareness it is anticipated that they will develop their managerial ability.
Description
The effective group decision-making module has been developed into elearning format where learners will actively engage with a set of tasks provided by the etutor through the Moodle platform. This e-tivity will involve the learners being exposed to the barriers commonplace in the decision-making process and the strategies available to overcome these barriers. Learners are required to reflect on the process, highlight the challenges involved and to consider effective strategies.
Although the learning outcome of this e-tivity is to improve the decision-making of groups managed by the learners, they are encouraged to think of decision-making in a personal and workplace setting, and at a group and individual level.
The diagram on page 2 depicts the role of the etutor on the left and the role of the learner on the right. Down the centre of these two is where they interact together. To the right of the learner are optional tasks.
