Abstract

Designing and developing a logical structure of intended learning outcomes (ILOs) by using a diagrammatic technique, is a challenge for instructional designers in their systematic design and development of curriculum. In this paper, an ILO diagram – a novel conceptual model for curriculum development, is proposed. The modelling of ILOs and its components are introduced as well as the relationships and constraints of the ILO diagram are proposed. Finally, a scenario for applying the proposed ILO diagram in education is elaborated upon.
