understand key principles of design and ergonomics
Common level · Junior Cycle Wood Technology current specification
2. Original iLEARN experience Learning intention: work directly toward 2.4.Entry: short original explanation plus key vocabulary.Active task: use one of the recommended formats below.Check: learner explains, applies or demonstrates the outcome.Improve: feedback then retry/redraft.Evidence: save the improved response against WOOD-JC-2-4.3. Recommended content formats Project brief — authentic brief · constraints · milestones · evidence checklist · reflectionInvestigation / experiment — question · hypothesis · method · variables/safety · evidence table · reflectionAssessment practice — original task · success criteria · planning scaffold · feedback checklistOriginality 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.
