Target Audience: Business travelers who want to learn some practical French.
Challenge: Language apps tend to build vocabulary incrementally (making language acquisition a slow process), and do not focus on specific scenarios and essential vocabulary.
Understanding Directions in French
Solution: I planned out a series of interactive modules to address essential travel interactions using micro-learning.
Solution should be appropriate for both adult and school-age learners.
Learning Objectives: Be able to ask for and understand directions in French. (More modules to be added.)

Vocabulary infographic (PDF).
-
Articulate Storyline course with glossary.
SME:

Mubina Datoo - FSL Teacher.
​
Completion Time:
-
Creation: 3 days plus a week of iterating.
-
Learning time: 1 hour (flexible).
Planning:
-
To plan this course, I started with backwards mapping. I explored how I wanted the learner to demonstrate their learning. I chose a multiple choice quiz.
-
Next, I considered how they might practice the skills, and what interactivity I could use. I chose hot spots, drag and drop.
-
Finally I planned all the elements for learning. Learning was scaffolded (incremental skill building) to first build vocabulary, then build the length of response (in text format), and finally use audio responses for the learner to get familiar with hearing the directions.
-
Finally, I took all the key vocabulary used and created an infographic with vocabulary and a couple of sample direction sentences. I also created a comprehensive vocabulary glossary in Articulate.
