How Straive approached
the challenge

Thin Slice

First, Straive developed a thin slice – a proof of concept phase in which every
component related to one lesson in the curriculum was developed. It helps to
validate the program guidelines, scope, and processes. Despite a challenging
project schedule, the time devoted to thin slice development benefitted both
Straive and our client by creating the opportunity to refine the instructional
design and guidelines prior to full-scale developmen across multiple content
teams. Upon launching the full content development phase with simultaneous
subject-area teams (English/Language Arts, Science, Social Studies), all SME
writers and editors were fully trained and comfortable with final prototypes and
guidelines based on the thin slice experience.
