name	learning-path-design
description	Learning path design framework. Referenced by training-builder and onboarding-architect agents when designing new hire learning curricula. Used for 'learning path', 'curriculum design', 'training program' requests. Note: LMS system development and e-learning content production are out of scope.

Learning Path Design

Enhances the curriculum design capabilities of training-builder / onboarding-architect agents.

Learning Path Design Principles

ADDIE Model Application

Phase	Onboarding Application	Deliverable
Analysis	Job competency gap analysis	Competency gap matrix
Design	Learning objectives + path design	Curriculum map
Development	Training content development	Lesson plans, quizzes, labs
Implementation	Training execution	Schedule, progress tracker
Evaluation	Effectiveness measurement	Kirkpatrick 4 levels

70-20-10 Learning Model

Ratio	Type	Onboarding Activities
70%	Experiential learning (OJT)	Hands-on projects, pair programming, client meeting observation
20%	Social learning	Mentoring, 1:1 meetings, peer review, team retrospectives
10%	Formal learning	Training sessions, documentation study, online courses

30-60-90 Day Learning Path Template

Days 1-30: Foundation

Week	Learning Goal	Activities	Verification
W1	Organization/culture understanding	Orientation, team introductions, system setup	Setup checklist
W2	Work process understanding	Documentation study, walkthroughs, observation	Process map creation
W3	Tools/systems proficiency	Hands-on labs, tutorials	Lab assignment submission
W4	Basic task execution	Guided task execution	30-day check-in meeting

Days 31-60: Execution

Week	Learning Goal	Activities	Verification
W5-6	Independent work execution	Start assigned tasks, feedback loop	Weekly 1:1
W7-8	Expanding scope	Cross-functional participation, projects	60-day review

Days 61-90: Performance

Week	Learning Goal	Activities	Verification
W9-10	Self-directed work	Independent projects, improvement proposals	Performance evaluation
W11-12	Team contribution	Knowledge sharing, process improvement	90-day comprehensive review

Learning Objective Design (Bloom's Taxonomy)

Level	Verbs	Example	Assessment Method
Remember	List, define	"List the team's 5 key KPIs"	Quiz
Understand	Explain, compare	"Explain differences between our product and competitors"	Report
Apply	Use, execute	"Register a customer using the CRM system"	Lab
Analyze	Classify, identify causes	"Analyze causes of customer churn"	Case study
Evaluate	Judge, recommend	"Select the best option from 3 proposals with justification"	Presentation
Create	Design, propose	"Propose a new process improvement"	Project

Assessment Framework (Kirkpatrick 4 Levels)

Level	Measures	Method	Timing
L1 Reaction	Satisfaction, engagement	Survey	Immediately after training
L2 Learning	Knowledge/skill acquisition	Test, lab	Immediately after training
L3 Behavior	On-the-job application	Observation, 360 feedback	Days 60-90
L4 Results	Business outcomes	KPIs, productivity	Day 90+

Quality Checklist

Item	Criteria
70-20-10	Balance of experiential/social/formal learning
Learning objectives	Uses Bloom's verbs, measurable
Milestones	30/60/90-day checkpoints
Assessment	At least 2 of Kirkpatrick's 4 levels
Feedback loop	Weekly 1:1 + monthly review
