2. Planning and Designing a FAIR training

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session, learners will be able to:

• Describe pedagogical frameworks and methods that support Learning Outcome development (including Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Smartie Principles)
• Create Learning Outcomes relevant to their own training
• Understand how Nicholl’s Five Steps and the Training LIfe Cycle relate to FAIR
• Describe how documentation pedagogically supports FAIR trainings
• Describe methods for and means of documenting trainings documenting in a FAIR way

2.3 Activities

Create Learning Outcomes for your training (Individually)

• Reflect on your training
• Define teaching/learning objectives (describe your goals and intentions as the instructor)
• Write learning outcomes (think about what learners will be able to do by the end of this instruction; using Bloom’s taxonomy; actionable verbs)
• Identify the target audience and prerequisites

How does the Training Life Cycle relate to FAIR?

• Group Discussion

Why is documentation important to the FAIR process?

• Think, Pair, Share
