on accomplishing organizational goals. The Design phase is
where the fi t between the proposed training module and the
larger curriculum is delineated. This means outlining the
structure wherein the training module will fi t. Each module
includes two training elements, an
Overview Training
element and one or more associated
Skills Training
elements.

A module is displayed in Figure 5.3.
In the Design phase, the precise location of the training
element - as an Overview Training element or a Skills
Training element - is determined. We will briefl y review the
difference between these two types of elements. Overview
Training will be more conceptually focused, while Skills
Training will be more task or performance oriented. Concepts
tell what a thing is, why it is important; tasks describe how
to do something. Concepts provide the “science” for task
performance. For example, the tasks involved in sanitizing
equipment might be conceptualized as “Reducing the levels
of microorganisms and particulates to acceptable limits,”
thereby minimizing the risk of product contamination from
the equipment.
