A couple months back I resurrected my writings on Agile Instructional Design with the purpose of revisiting it, updating it and providing more depth as a working approach to personal curriculum mapping and designing your own learning. After this first post on the approach as a whole I settled into a few required research tasks so I could write the follow-up on post describing how to ENVISION the curriculum within AID. Three posts came from this work, with the final post describing how the ENVISION step works within AID.
One of the outcomes of the ENVISION step is an artefact that captures a persons thoughts and current understanding of the knowledge domain so they can start identifying areas of learning. Keep in mind that AID can also work for groups, as it will also work well with more ambitious and larger learning projects. Once a person (or group) has this first draft describing some of the attributes of a knowledge domain the learning can begin. This is the FIRST concept map for my learning about building Mobile Web Applications. I stress the word FIRST for there will be iterations of this concept map as I iterate through my learning to the point where I believe I am finished and have acquired the skills and knowledge I require for building HTML5 mobile applications within a three-tier architecture.
