Sorting, matching, quizzes, and the module gate stay behind a free account so scored answers are not public. The teaching notes below are the same cited curriculum.
01
CDLA Modules 1–4 mapped actions, science, assessment, and pathways. Module 5 chooses interaction patterns that rehearse those actions on screen: scenarios, branches, and practice loops — each tied to an observable move from the action map. Merrill’s integration principle asks learners to plan how they will use the skill at work; interaction design is how you make that plan inevitable, not optional.
