Description

This rapid design approach can be applied to creating e-learning on any topic using any platform. The outcome of this approach is an online training module that is divided into four areas: The library contains the content such as reference materials and job aids, the playground contains games with closed questions, the café contains a chat area with open-ended questions, and the assessment center contains a performance test. The participants work through any of these areas in any sequence, any number of time. Based on self-determination theory of intrinsic motivation, this approach treats adult learners with respect and provides them with meaningful choices.

Objectives:
Prepare an outline for a 4D e-learning module by specifying the contents for the library, the games for the playground, the open questions for the cafe, and the performance test for the assessment center. 

Design an e-learning course that consist of modules created by the 4D approach.
