# Curriculum Designer Decision Guidance
|
|
|
|
## When to Use Each Skill
|
|
|
|
### learning-objective-validator
|
|
- **Use when:** Drafting new learning objectives
|
|
- **Use when:** Reviewing existing objectives for quality
|
|
- **Skip when:** Objectives have already been validated
|
|
|
|
### competency-mapper
|
|
- **Use when:** Aligning curriculum to competency frameworks
|
|
- **Use when:** Creating competency reports
|
|
- **Skip when:** No competency framework is required
|
|
|
|
### curriculum-gap-analyzer
|
|
- **Use when:** After initial curriculum design is complete
|
|
- **Use when:** Before finalizing curriculum for review
|
|
- **Skip when:** Curriculum is still in draft form
|
|
|
|
### standards-compliance-checker
|
|
- **Use when:** Standards alignment is required
|
|
- **Use when:** Preparing curriculum for approval
|
|
- **Skip when:** Working with custom standards not in the checker
|
|
|
|
### prerequisite-analyzer
|
|
- **Use when:** Designing course sequences
|
|
- **Use when:** Identifying learning dependencies
|
|
- **Skip when:** Course is standalone with no prerequisites
|
|
|
|
## Design Decisions
|
|
|
|
### Objective Granularity
|
|
- **Fine-grained:** One objective per specific skill/knowledge
|
|
- Pros: Easier to assess, clearer for learners
|
|
- Cons: More objectives to manage
|
|
- **Coarse-grained:** One objective covers broader competency
|
|
- Pros: Fewer objectives, more flexible
|
|
- Cons: Harder to assess precisely
|
|
|
|
### Sequencing Strategy
|
|
- **Linear:** Fixed sequence for all learners
|
|
- Best for: Foundational knowledge, regulated content
|
|
- **Adaptive:** Sequence adjusts based on learner performance
|
|
- Best for: Varied learner backgrounds, competency-based
|
|
|
|
### Standards Coverage
|
|
- **Full coverage:** Address every applicable standard
|
|
- Best for: Compliance-required curriculum
|
|
- **Selective coverage:** Address priority standards only
|
|
- Best for: Time-constrained courses
|
|
|
|
## Trade-offs to Consider
|
|
|
|
| Decision | Benefit | Cost |
|
|
|----------|---------|------|
|
|
| More objectives | Clearer expectations | More complex assessment |
|
|
| Tighter sequencing | Predictable progression | Less flexibility |
|
|
| Full standards coverage | Complete compliance | More content to develop |
|
|
| Interdisciplinary approach | Authentic learning | Complex coordination |
