A — Analysis: Understanding Learners, Goals & Ministry Needs

My process began with a comprehensive analysis of:

Learner Profiles: Adult learners seeking ministry preparation, spiritual growth, and practical application.
Course Goals: To equip students with biblical understanding, ministry tools, and reflective practices.
Technical Context: A Moodle-based environment requiring intuitive structure and minimal cognitive load.
Content Requirements: Scripture-centered teachings, multimedia integration, reflective work, and practical ministry tasks.

This analysis shaped every subsequent decision, ensuring the course addressed real learner needs while honoring the spiritual mission of the program.

D — Design: Structuring the Learning Experience

Using insights from the analysis phase, I created a strong instructional blueprint that guided the full course development:

Clear Course Layout & Navigation

I designed a logical, intuitive course structure with clearly labeled modules arranged in weekly or topical order. This ensures learners immediately know where to start and how to progress.
Spiritually Grounded Course Introduction

The introductory section includes:

Course overview
Learning objectives
Mission and spiritual purpose
Expectations for reflection, participation, and growth

This establishes tone, clarity, and emotional readiness at the outset.

3. Learning Objectives for Each Module

Each section begins with measurable objectives that make the learning journey clear and focused.

4. Multimedia & Activity Flow

I intentionally sequenced each module with:

Scripture readings
Explanatory teaching content
Video lessons
Discussion forums
Journaling prompts
Practical ministry applications

This mirrors a “learn → reflect → apply” design chain that deepens understanding.

5. Branding the Learning Experience

Consistent visual and tonal elements reinforce spiritual calmness and focus:

Soft color palettes
Simple, clean typography
Faith-based imagery
Balanced white space for mental rest

D — Development: Building the Course in Moodle

During the development phase, I constructed the course inside Moodle with attention to usability and aesthetics:

1. Course Settings & Configuration

Course name and summary crafted for clarity
Selected the appropriate course format (Topics/Weekly)
Structured main sections for simplicity and flow
Added essential blocks only to reduce clutter

2. Resource Creation & Upload

“Page” and “Book” formats to break content into digestible pieces
Multimedia embedded for accessibility
Downloadable worksheets and guides for deeper reflection

3. Activity Development

Forums for discussion and community building
Reflection assignments with clear rubrics
Quizzes for reinforcement of key theological principles

4. Conditional Release & Pacing

Where appropriate, modules were hidden or scheduled to guide learners at the right pace and prevent overwhelm.

I — Implementation: Launching a Supportive Learning Environment

Once the course was constructed, I prepared it for student experience by:

Ensuring all elements were accessible and functioning
Providing clear instructions for navigation
Setting up communication channels to keep learners connected
Creating a clean interface that encourages calm, focus, and spiritual engagement

This phase ensured students entered a course that felt welcoming, organized, and spiritually aligned.

E — Evaluation: Continuous Improvement for Spiritual & Academic Growth

I built in mechanisms for ongoing evaluation:

Quizzes and self-checks give learners immediate insight into their understanding.
Assignments and reflections provide opportunities for instructor feedback.
Forums reveal engagement patterns and areas needing additional support.
Module-level evaluations guide future improvements to teaching methods and content delivery.

This evaluation approach ensures the course always evolves to meet learner needs, uphold ministry standards, and deepen spiritual formation.

Final Impact

Through the ADDIE-based design and construction, the Oasis School of Ministry’s Course ID 14 becomes:

Structured yet spiritually warm
Academically rigorous yet visually calm
Reflective, practical, and community-building
Easy to navigate and intentionally paced

The result is a holistic, transformative learning environment—one that supports students not only in ministry knowledge, but in their spiritual journey, personal reflection, and readiness for real-world application.
