1. Discuss in your group and write down in keywords possible implications for design from one of the four perspectives. Use post-its of resp. colors.

2. Fill in a Venn diagram for each of the four perspectives on a separate flow-chart.

Task-based design for MOOCs

• For the presented whole task specify a progression of 3 consequent tasks from less to more complex

• For each task identify at least two components (concepts and procedures)

• Fill in the template and present it in 3 minutes

Feedback will follow in the Wednesday morning session
