 Content Selection and Priority Setting

By making clear the content objectives of a course and training learners

to set their own objectives, the following benefits can be accrued:
• Students come to have a more realistic idea of what can be achieved in a given
course.
• Learning comes to be seen as a process of gradually reaching achievable goals.
• Students develop greater sensitivity to their role as learners
• Self-evaluation becomes more feasible.
• Classroom activities can be seen to relate to the learner’s real-life needs.
• The development of competences can be seen as a gradual, rather than an all-or-
nothing process.

Since content hours often are limited, class time has to be used as
effectively and productively as possible to achieve the following aims:
• To provide students with effective learning strategies;
• To assist students to identify their preferred ways of learning;
• To develop skills needed to negotiate the curriculum;
• To encourage students to set their own objectives;
• To encourage students to adopt realistic goals and time frames;
• To develop the students’ skills of/by self-evaluation.

What is a Content Map?
• A content map is a plan to deliver the right content, to the right
people, at the right time.
• To ensure that your School's content is effective at generating and
nurturing leads, you need to deliver the right content, to the right
people, at the right time.
• Content mapping is the process of doing just that.
• With content mapping, the goal is to target content according to the
characteristics of the person who will be consuming it.
