CDLA · Module 4 — Pathway and blend architecture
When HR wants a "learning path" that is a playlist of videos, and how to report what was actually measured.

Sorting, matching, quizzes, and the module gate stay behind a free account so scored answers are not public. The teaching notes below are the same cited curriculum.
01
Playlist: Twenty videos in a fixed order. · A final quiz on video content. · Reports hours watched.
Designed pathway: Three milestones; videos attached as pull resources where they help. · A practice activity and manager sign-off per milestone. · Reports milestones evidenced, with the tier stated.
02
If the dashboard shows completions, call them completions. Do not relabel them "skills achieved" or "impact". Your assessment map already names the LTEM tier each action can claim. A pathway report repeats that tier. Executives can audit a labelled tier. They cannot audit a renamed completion count.
03
Senior architects rarely win by arguing method. They win by trading scope. Offer the stakeholder what they asked for in a smaller form plus what the evidence needs: "We can launch the library on time for everyone, and run the full pathway with practice for two pilot teams. In eight weeks you will have completion data for all and capability evidence for the pilots to decide the rollout." The sponsor keeps the deadline, you get a fair test.
04
Write the one-paragraph scope trade you would offer your sponsor: what everyone gets on the requested date, and what the pilot group gets that produces evidence. Add it to your pathway map as the rollout note.
