Outline the most significant elements or steps of the task upon which the training will focus (See Assignment 1). Using the selected adult learning theory from Assignment 1, analyze the how the theory would support the learners mastery of the task. Justify your response.
Propose one or more instructional settings for the training being planned based on the nature of the task(s) and the selected theoretical model (e.g., instructor-led in a classroom or self-directed online.) Provide a rationale for the setting(s) selected.
Propose instructional activities to deliver training on the task(s) that are consistent with the selected theoretical model, the intended audiences characteristics, and the selected training setting.
