Step 1: Identify DOMAIN

What is this step about?

  • Identify DOMAIN is the first step of the ELIXIR learning paths protocol.
  • Identifying DOMAIN is the starting point to set the context, content, and structure of the learning path.

Why do we need to identify a DOMAIN?

Identifying DOMAIN(S) is imperative from several perspectives:

From an educator’s perspective:

it provides a clear framework/reference to guide subsequent decisions (next steps) in developing the learning path.

From a learner’s perspective:

a clearly stated DOMAIN ensures clarity, helping learners understand the focus and goals of the learning path.
