Hi everyone,
Attached is a file with 229 lines of keywords. Each line is associated
with a task number (x.x.x) from our Level 2 JAS. I would like to start
sorting these tasks by concept into main categories and sub-categories.
These categories will define our areas in our objectives.
I would really like input from courseware developers, authors, and
trainers at this stage. I would like these categories to be arranged to
satisfy your needs to create materials, or present content more easily.
This was not addressed at Level 1, making delivery of materials or
training difficult, as there wasn't flow. At the same time, I would like
feedback from our technical audience, to verify which skills are used
together and indeed related, etc.
Rather than focusing on the task itself and its content, I have gone
through all the tasks and selected keywords from the task, or general
keywords which summarize the specific task (e.g. maintenance, develop,
configure, etc). The goal is not to sort by task type, or even exactly by
keyword. They need to be grouped in a manner to more easily deliver
training, study, etc materials, as well as provide flow between the exam
forms for Level 2.
I would like to see 12 or so main categories, with as many sub categories
as appropriate. I'd then like us to sort the task keyword lists into these
categories (or subcategories). Please ignore the numbering sequence for
the keywords for anything other than identification. I suspect 1.x.x to
get mixed with 3.x.x and so forth, though some will likely stay grouped
together.
When reviewing these keywords, consider the keyword list in general for
each task number, not each keyword individually. (for instance, we don't
need a category for development, maintenance, and install, then put a task
which has all three keywords into all three categories. This doesn't mean,
however, that we shouldn't discuss if a task keyword list would fit in
more than one category. Therefore, if overall the task seems to be
specific to something like, networking, then place it in an appropriate
category according to that.
This looks like a daunting task, due to the sheer number of keyword items,
so to simply, let's first simply discuss what the main categories should
be, how they can logically be subcategorized, and then grouped. From
there, we can start sorting our keyword tasks into the categories.
As a reminder, I didn't want us to get distracted by the tasks themselves
at this stage. I simplified to keywords, to prevent distractions such as
"we should also talk about FOO" or "this isn't a complete task" or any
such thing.
This will be a great aid to completing the objective development. We can
continue this discussion while we work on preliminary objectives through
mid next week, however I'd like to have this completed by June 1. This
will allow final objectives to be completed by June 8 - June 15, and
hopefully allow us to have our item writing session the week of June 18.
