HCD.28:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
| Common offer and different entrants | Reusable content reduces repeated development, while differences in preparation or access can require different routes. |
| Competent account and acquisition | A precise method account can support competent use while leaving a novice unable to acquire the required operation. |
| Whole tasks and manageable effort | Whole tasks preserve meaning and selection, while missing prerequisites or excessive simultaneous demands can prevent useful practice. |
| Other people’s contribution | Peers and providers can improve available reasoning or feedback while concealing the learner’s missing contribution. |
| Content and medium | A medium can make an operation accessible while adding production, access and maintenance costs without changing learning. |
| Scale and support | More learners can share fixed development costs while increasing individual checking, peak demand and recovery work. |
| Early comparison and stronger claims | A constructed route can expose a defect before delivery, while actual learning, transfer and causal effectiveness require their own observations. |
