1. Official curriculum anchor

2.3 · Energy and control · Design and innovation

recognise the principles of control systems when developing their solution

Common level · Junior Cycle Applied Technology current specification

2. Original iLEARN experience

  1. Learning intention: work directly toward 2.3.
  2. Entry: short original explanation plus key vocabulary.
  3. Active task: use one of the recommended formats below.
  4. Check: learner explains, applies or demonstrates the outcome.
  5. Improve: feedback then retry/redraft.
  6. Evidence: save the improved response against AT-JC-2-3.

3. Recommended content formats

  • Retrieval quiz — 5–8 original questions · immediate low-stakes feedback · retry
  • Assessment practice — original task · success criteria · planning scaffold · feedback checklist

Originality rule: new wording, examples, questions, datasets, diagrams and sequences. Publisher material is not copied or stored.

4. Required learner variants

Easy English · Standard English · Exam/subject language

Easy / Standard / Exam English · Read aloud · Reduced motion · Chunked instructions · Voice or typed response · Vocabulary support · Non-visual / non-drag alternative when needed

5. Teacher control

The authenticated Content Studio backend now supports preview → save draft → teacher edit → approve. Nothing becomes learner-visible by default.
