Learning Management, The Learning Design Process and The Diagnostic Phase of learning management

Learning management is defined as the capacity to achieve learning outcomes in all students based on the notion of "design with intent' (Lynch & Knight, p 3, 2010).

Lynch and Knight's learning design process consists of 3 phases :

• profiling
• strategising and delivery
• ascertainment

There is also a 4th phase;

• Learning diagnostics.

Learning diagnostics asks the question:

Why has the learner not achieved the defined learning outcomes?

What are the barriers or impediments that are preventing the students from achieving successful outcomes?
