Learn whether the sample supports a useful next action.

Write one task a reviewer would attempt with the sample and with the existing follow-up.

My test-and-improvement plan

1. 1
   Define the test question

   Ask whether reviewers understand and can attempt a specific follow-up action. Do not claim a general learning improvement from a small exercise.

   You produce

   One test question and observations to look for.

   Worth reviewing with

   Educator.

   Ask yourself

   What would count as useful evidence for this limited question?

2. 2
   Choose a comparison

   Use current slides or a manual worksheet with the same learning purpose. Keep the tasks comparable and note differences.

   You produce

   A comparison method.

   Worth reviewing with

   Learning designer if available.

   Ask yourself

   Are differences due to the format, content, familiarity, or something else?

3. 3
   Prepare the review

   Use invented scenarios and willing adult reviewers. Arrange educator review and explain what information you will record.

   You produce

   Tasks, review roles, and a data-minimizing setup.

   Worth reviewing with

   Relevant reviewers and any required approval.

   Ask yourself

   Can reviewers stop or ask for help without pressure?

4. 4
   Record observations

   Record what people did, where they hesitated, and what needed correcting. Keep interpretations separate from observations.

   You produce

   An evidence log with limitations.

   Worth reviewing with

   Someone familiar with the learning goal.

   Ask yourself

   Was apparent clarity enough to support the activity?

5. 5
   Choose the next decision

   Review usefulness, access needs, and preparation effort. Decide to revise, explore further, seek support, pause, or keep a simpler resource.

   You produce

   A reasoned next decision.

   Worth reviewing with

   Responsible programme owner where relevant.

   Ask yourself

   What remains unproven after this small review?
