Your lesson plan to include at least 1 activity sheet with instructions on the following:

Alignment of Learning Outcomes with Course and Program

I am using the constructive alignment approach to curriculum design, to develop learning activities that are aligned with intended learning outcomes. That is, select activities that will elicit actions related to the learning outcomes. Learning activities should give students opportunities to develop and ultimately demonstrate their learning. Choose or design activities that allow students to progress through a range of levels of complexity as they work towards achieving deeper understanding in a particular area.

I am applying Bloom Taxonomy principle such as identify, recognise, apply, integrate, analyse and reflect to align facilitation goal with learning outcomes.

Program mapping

Once l have mapped the course, then I will proceed to map the desired skills, knowledge and/or attributes across the entire program.

Learning Activities

Instruction for Activity No 1	Materials
Resources : Video Case Study & Discussion Discussion Theme : Differentiate the interior works – the good and inferior works of hotels • Brief participants on ground rules so that there are mutual respect and co-operation to learning during the class activities • Inform the learning outcome for this activity  - Differentiate the interior works – the good and inferior works of hotels • Select participants – participants’ profile and characteristic are identified.  Participants to work in two groups for a group discussion.   • Facilitator will ask the participants to watch the video play before the group discussion. This will give the participants a virtual experience of site briefing by the architects explaining and showing some of the designs, quality and standard of interior design works of hotel. For group discussion, each group to discuss: -        What is good design works(from the video) -        What is inferior design works(from personal experience) • Explain that each group to write down discussion outcomes on flipcharts and share with the rest of the group  • Ask participants what interesting things they learned in this group discussion. • Elicit their expectations for the training, and record their answers on a flip chart. Review of session agenda and objectives • Discuss and Evaluate -        Briefly review the discussion based on the sharing as a whole group. -        Find out from the participants; “what did you learn from this?”; “what conclusions did you reach?” -         I will share feedback on the discussion, what I see, and do well during the activity.   -        Debrief and share some of the examples to differentiate the interior works; e.g. carpet for luxury hotel is 100% wool material whereas it is nylon material carpet for 3 star hotel -        also highlight some key points in the video which shows the interiors of luxury hotels in Shanghai. The design and architecture speaks of expensive, refined, luxuries and elegant with local culture theme. -        Hotel designs are both form and function that produces simplicity in design works. Form is an art and function is science which gives guests a spatial luxury to experience unique accommodation delivering comfort and functionality and ensuring highly personalized experiences. The furnishing such as wallpaper, fabric and carpet are of high quality workmanship and material. Furniture are of great design, expensive wood and usually imported items. -        Therefore for the contractor tendering luxury hotels, key attribute to good tendering is the ability to understand hotel designs and have an eye for details.

Instructions for Activity No 2	Material
Resources : Video Case Study & Role Play Role Play Theme : Apply best strategy to winning tender for a luxury hotel • Brief participants on ground rules so that there are mutual respect and co-operation to learning during the class activities • Inform the learning outcome for this activity  - Apply the secret to winning tenders for interior works of Luxury Hotel • Select participants – participants’ profile and characteristic are identified and the facilitator assigns the roles.  Participants to work in two groups for a role play. Each group comprises: Client, Designer & Consultant ( 1 to 2 participants) Contractor ( 1 to 2 participants) i.                 • Prepare the observer – to evaluate the realism of the role playing, respond to the effectiveness and sequences of the role players’ behavior, and define the feeling and ways of thinking of the persons being portrayed. • I will use a Role Play checklist to identify gaps   ( I have omitted this step due to time factor) • Participants are asked to engage in a Role Play called Tender Interview between clients and contractor • Brief : The contractor had submitted a tender for Renovation of a 5 Star Hotel Guestroom for 500 rooms and was invited for a tender interview. • Facilitator will throw hints on some key points to winning tender on the PowerPoint slides such as innovation, compliance, understanding the scope, delivery on time, budget, quality, highest value for money, experience and portfolio, best practices and standards and offer the least risk. (refer to slide below) • Facilitator will then ask the participants to watch the video play. This will give the contractors a virtual experience of a hotel site visit briefing by the architect explaining some of the scope, quality and standard of interior design works expected of the hotel. • Facilitator to instruct participants (clients) to interview the contractors using the given questions. They should write down the key points of their partner’s responses, as each group from the clients’ side will need to do a review later. Script • When particpants (client) have finished interviewing the contractor, ask the client from each group to review answers with the whole group. Ask participants what interesting things they learned in this interviews. • Elicit their expectations for the training, and record their answers on a flip chart. Review of session agenda and objectives • Discuss and Evaluate -        Briefly review the scenarios and decisions based on the scenarios, as a whole group. -        Find out from the participants; “what did you learn from this?”; “what conclusions did you reach?”; “how can you apply this to your work?” etc. These were asked and checked in Gagne 6 during the fun quiz and Gagne 9 during transfer -         I will share feedback on role play, what I see, and do well during the activity.   -        I will share some of the secret to winning tender on the PowerPoint slides as shown below • Share Experiences and Generalize – The problem situation is related to current problems and the real experience. -        I will also share from my work experience on some of the viable strategy to take in winning tender of a luxury hotels. I will also explain the technicalities and problems why some contractors consistently lose out in tenders • Evaluation - Ask participants to complete the Workshop Evaluation form.  • End of Activity - Thank them for the good work	PowerPoint slides Video play Flipchart Markers & Pens
