Process

Learning objectives

The first step in the process was to determine measurable learning objectives for the course. The goal of this step was to define precise targets that learners could achieve by the end of the learning experience. The learning objectives are extremely important as they allow instructional designers to gauge the effectiveness of a course and the learners' overall understanding of the content.

Research

The next step in the process was to identify reliable sources and acquire information about macronutrients. From these sources, I aimed to collect the following details: the definition of macronutrients, a summary of the three types of macronutrients, a compilation of foods rich in each macronutrient, and general insights into monitoring and tracking macronutrients.

Course outline

Guided by the learning objectives, I developed the course outline by dividing the information into sections, followed by breaking down each section into relevant subtopics. To ensure a clear progression and minimize learner confusion, I carefully arranged the sections in a logical order. Lastly, I reviewed and refined the outline, ensuring its alignment with the learning objectives. 

Development

Using Rise 360, I developed the course following the outline provided in the previous section. While creating the course, I kept the following considerations in mind:

• Ensure the course spacing was consistent across the lessons

• Incorporate knowledge assessments strategically throughout the course 

• Avoid cognitive overload by separating the content into manageable chunks

• Engage the learners by using interactive blocks throughout the course 

Upon completing the course, I carefully reviewed each section and applied revisions as needed. Lastly, I performed a comprehensive review of the entire course to ensure that the flow of information was smooth and that a cohesive and comprehensive learning experience was being provided.
