Assignment: The Critical Thinking assignments in this course build upon each other to help you complete the final Portfolio Project, an instructional design blueprint for a business or organization. Based on the profile you created in Module 2 and the needs assessment in Module 3, this week you will explore ways to integrate relevant theories into your design blueprint.

For each of the three learning-theory topics that follow, brainstorm instructional design considerations specific to your selected business/organization, and the identified learning and learner needs from your needs assessment:

• Basic theories of learning: behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism, and Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs

• Malcolm Knowles' Adult Learning Theory (or Andragogy)

• Individual characteristics of learning: motivation, goals, experience, culture, and generational differences.

Prior to outlining the design considerations for each of the above three topics, you will first need to describe your identified learners and their needs. This information should be from the results of Stage 3 (learning needs) and Stage 4 (learner needs) of your needs assessment assignment completed in Module 3.

Please ensure that your work is well written, supported by two to three scholarly sources, and in conformance with the CSU Global Writing Center. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these sources.
