01Curriculum, instructional design and meaningful learning
A curriculum organizes intended learning, content, progression and assessment within an educational setting. An instructional activity is one means of helping learners achieve a particular objective; it is not the objective itself.
428 words, about 2 min02FOA instructor role, technical currency and accountable teaching
An instructor must combine accurate technical understanding with the ability to help other people learn and demonstrate relevant capabilities. CFOS/I is an FOA instructor designation rather than another name for basic CFOT or a guarantee of competence in every specialty.
393 words, about 2 min03Adult instruction, practice, assessment and useful feedback
A learning objective identifies what a learner should be able to explain or do under relevant conditions. An assessment must elicit that capability.
383 words, about 2 min04Fiber transmission, components and loss-budget reasoning
An optical fiber has a core and cladding with an appropriate refractive-index relationship. A ray model uses total internal reflection to explain guidance under relevant conditions, while more complete behavior depends on the fiber and wavelength.
383 words, about 2 min05Safe fiber laboratories, demonstrations and measurement evidence
Fiber instruction introduces optical, glass, chemical, electrical and tool hazards. Invisible radiation can be present even when no visible light appears.
