Topic and assessment planning

A 'topic and assessment plan'plan (T&A plan)' extends a course map by identifying allthe thesequence of engagements (content, resources, and activities) that will be used and presented to learners in each of the topics.

Engagements are aligned with each of the learning objectives identified in the course map and fulfil the principles of the '9s model'

Types of engagement

We use the term 'engagement' here to describe the content (learning materials) that will be presented on or linked to from pages in the LMS. This includes sources for all the written content and may also include: 

• Images, diagrams and slideshows 
• External links (e.g. NZ Standards/legislation etc.) 
• Links back to prior learning 
• Ideas for interactive (these care created or fleshed out in a later stage) 
• videos (YouTube etc.) 
• readings (required) 
• extra readings (dig deeper)   
• end of page discussion questions.  
• iQ tasks.
• Formative activities
