This document will allow you to keep track of the important concepts of the module as well as help you note down significant information on each topic in the module.

Step 2 – Go through the recorded cohorts

As we have gone through the study resources relevant to this module, we have found the recorded cohorts of WGU to be your perfect entry point to the course content. The course instructors who conduct these cohorts have made them simple yet knowledgeable, making them suitable for beginners as well as experts in this field. As the course instructors are well-informed and experienced in the WGU module process and the course contents, they will share their knowledge and advice on these videos as well. So you will be able to not only learn the study material but also will get a chance to get advice and tips and tricks to tackle the module as efficiently as possible. To find the recorded cohorts, navigate to the below-mentioned location.

• Go to the Student Portal of WGU > Log onto your profile > Go to the D089 module page > Click on the “Course Search” button > Find and open the link “Cohort Information Center”

By going through these cohorts you will be able to get a basic understanding of the core concepts that make up module D089. Go through each video except the video named “Exam Jam”. We will save this video for later.

Step 3 – Go through the Textbook

Now that you have gained a basic understanding of the core concepts, let us deep dive into each topic and reveal the intricate details of the core concepts. To help you with this task, we will be utilizing the Textbook provided by WGU for module D089. Here you will gain the knowledge that you require to face the OA and master the competencies required. The TextBook does a perfect job of providing the knowledge in a very structured and easy-to-understand manner. So complete each topic and commit the information to your memory. As the OA of D089 is built upon this module, try and clarify all your doubts before reaching the end of the Textbook.

The Textbook includes knowledge checks and practice quizzes on each of the topics. Take time to go through these to help you retain the knowledge that you have acquired. Also whenever you come across embedded videos in the contents of the Textbook, we recommend you take your time to watch them. These videos will help you understand the theories which otherwise will seem hard to grasp. Another important tip is to focus on the topics 3-4, 6-7, and 9-10 as we have identified the OA questions are highly weighted on these topics.

While you go through the Textbook, make sure to utilize the note-taking guide we have downloaded previously. Answer each question in the note-taking guide while you read through each step to complete it, so you can use it as your short notes to refresh your memory later on.

To find the Textbook;

• Go to the Student Portal of WGU > Log onto your profile > Go to the D089 module page > Click on the “Go to course materials”

Step 4 – Go through supplemental material and do practice quizzes

After you have acquired the necessary knowledge to face the OA, we will go through some additional study material to strengthen our knowledge and practice the skills we have gained so far. First, go through the below-mentioned resources to gain additional knowledge on the core concepts of D089.

• Go to the Student Portal of WGU > Log onto your profile > Go to the D089 module page > Click on the “Course Search” button > Find and open the link “Infographics to help with the AD-AS Model”

Step 5 – Prepare for the exam

By completing the above steps, you will now have the knowledge required to attempt the OA. But before going to the final assessment, let us go through our final preparations to make sure we are well prepared. To achieve this objective, let us first go through the “Exam Jam” video that we have previously skipped in Step 2 of the study guide. Navigate to the same location where you found the recorded cohorts and watch the Exam Jam video to refresh your knowledge of the course content and get advice on how to face the OA.

Afterward, let us use one more tool to evaluate your exam readiness. In this step, we will complete the mock assessment; Pre-A that is prepared for you to test your skills on the subject matter of D089. Even though this is a mock assessment, we advise you to treat it as the final assessment itself. By giving your all in the Pre-A, you will find out your weak points when it comes to both the subject matter and your exam-taking skills. Attempt the Pre-A and try to achieve the best score possible.

Once you have finished the Pre-A, a coaching report will be generated at the same location where you attended the Pre-A. This report will provide you with detailed information on your performance. By going through the coaching report, you will be able to understand your knowledge of the course content, topic by topic. Use this report to identify the topics you have scored the lowest on and revise these topics using the short notes you have taken and the TextBook of the module. Repeat this process until you pass the Pre-A with at least an 85% score.

Step 6 – Take the OA
