Deliberation Phase This phase involves identifying necessary facts, generating alternatives, and considering their consequences to choose the best option for the curriculum task.
Design Phase In this phase, developers finalize decisions on curriculum elements after discussion and compromise, then document these decisions for the curriculum.
