The learning transaction

• A lesson comprises a series of learning
  transactions, each to a purpose, where the tutor
  provides teaching input, the student undertakes
  learning activities, and feedback is provided and
  shared.

Learning transaction context

• A well-structured learning transaction considers
  learner preferences, methods media, intended
  learning outcomes, subject matter content, and
  formative assessment.
• In particular, the intended learning outcomes, or
  desired competencies, inform the purpose of the
  transaction and the student activity.
