Digital guidebook - an online collection of information that is useful for the planned audience
Project lifecycle - the steps you follow to take an idea and turn it into a finished project
Common misconception
When working on a project, it is better if one person does the planning for the whole group.
Planning should be a shared responsibility, having the viewpoints of lots of people will improve the final product.
Teacher tip
In this lesson, learners have to generate a list of success criteria for the digital guidebook, you could ask learners to develop these as a group or provide some set criteria as a starting point.
