they represent at this time probably the most complete application
of existing knowledge in that area of learning technology.

practice is required in order to maintain a skill while at other
times practice in performance is not so critical. Further, it has
been found that providing the opportunity for practice is often
more effective than additional reviews of the material. The learning
guidelines therefore specify the most appropriate approach for initial
learning and maintenance of skills.
Inputs
The inputs to the Specify Learning Events/Activities block include:
1. The learning objectives developed in Block
II.1.
2. The tests developed in Block
II.2.
3. The entry behavior specifications from Block
II.3.
4. The sequence and structure of objectives from Block
II.4.
5. All the outputs from Phase
I.

Procedures
There are four general learning guidelines which have been developed
and seem to apply to most if not all categories of learning. These
general guidelines are:
1. Inform the learner of the objectives. The
students are told exactly what is expected from them, exactly
