I had it stuck in my brain I needed a syllabus which would explain the rational of the KDA course, the learning outcomes, and provide a roadmap.  This less than elegant graphic will suffice for now.  Later, I would like to have more details.

Some verbs:  describe, express, formulate, interpret, analyze, combine, assess, apply, develop, evaluate, explain, and use.

“dual-code” learning combines verbal and visual-spacial cognitive settings.  In my striving to seek ways to remember, I placed the levels of KDA into an architectural diagram.
