The learning sequence visually represents the Review,Interpret, Construct and Justify generic learning design and outlines the resources, tasks and supports needed for this design. This generic design is useful in instances where the learning being sought involves an experiential approach to developing knowledge in context. The situated learning design assists students to develop appropriate skills in order to apply processes and procedures of a conceptual nature.

The learning design is based on the presentation of a well-researched and justified response to an open-ended situated problem. The tasks require learners to work collaboratively to explore cases, complete a procedural task, critique information and justify responses to a series of related authentic tasks.

This generic learning design requires authentic data sets, virtual characters complete with case histories,virtual documents modeling real life documents and materials related to the issue, procedure guides and other documents and evidence of a range of stakeholder perspectives.

This learning setting requires tutor guidance, discussion forums, learning pathways documents, and collaborative team interaction mechanisms.

In designing the learning setting information on preparing learnings, guidelines for planning and how to choose the learning tasks are required.

This learning design is applicable where processes and procedures in authentic contexts are key anticipated outcomes, and where skills such as reviewing, interpreting,constructing a portfolio and justifying a position are desired.

The assessment for this form of learning requires a series of small, collaborative learning tasks which provide the structured development of required skills and processes for each student to present a conceptually sound, sensible and well-justified response to an open-ended problem.

The most important aspect of ICT is its capability to provide a ready access to communication tools that allow learners to make their learning public and facilitatediscussion with peers and tutors.
