Adding Important Information to Enhance Learning

A.

The best action for the instructor to take in this scenario is to contact the course designer and recommend adding the additional material (Option D).

Here's why:

Option A, suggesting supplemental training resources at the end of class, could be helpful but may not address the specific information that is missing from the course material. Additionally, students may not have the time or resources to seek out and access additional training resources on their own.

Option B, informing the learners of the missing information and promising to add it to future course material, may provide some reassurance to the students but does not address their immediate learning needs. Additionally, it may be difficult to remember to add the missing information to future course materials without a more formal process in place.

Option C, purchasing additional training resources and incorporating them into the class, may be expensive and time-consuming. It may also not fully address the missing information if the additional resources do not cover the specific topic that is missing from the course material.

Option D, contacting the course designer and recommending adding the additional material, is the best option because it addresses the root of the problem. The course designer has the ability to update the course material to include the missing information, which will benefit all future learners taking the course. It is important for the instructor to communicate specifically what information is missing and why it is important so that the course designer can make informed decisions about what changes to make.

In summary, Option D is the best action for the instructor to take because it directly addresses the problem of missing information in the course material and has the potential to benefit all future learners taking the course.
