In curriculum development, what does the CTTL provide?

• A. CTTL is the building block of the course
• B. The A in P.A.D.D.I.E.
• C. It determines the instructor schedule
• D. It sets the course budget.

Answer: (A)

CTTL provides the concrete tasks and performance criteria that students must master. This makes it the building block of the course because it turns broad goals into specific, measurable actions that instructors can teach, practice, and test. When planning, instructors use the CTTL to pick learning activities that develop each task and to create assessments that verify the trainee can perform them under defined conditions and standards. This keeps instruction, practice, and evaluation aligned around the required capabilities. It isn’t about scheduling instructors or setting budgets, and it isn’t simply about the Analyze phase of a model—its purpose is to define exactly what the trainee must do and how well.
