Learning Commons:Student Orientation/Learning Design

This is for a mini-workshop (1.5 hours) on Open Learning Design for students involved with the Learning Commons web team and the Digital Tattoo project.

Design Thinking Workshop for Creative Media PostGrads

Proposed Outcomes

Big picture: Participate in a learning design process that can used to develop learning courses, resources. Today, you'll have the opportunity to work as a group to:

• apply empathy mapping as a design strategy to help you think deeply about the students you are designing for.
• develop a mindmap to start determining what learners will know, do and value by the completion of the tutorial

Empathy Map Example

Agenda

Part 1: Understanding our learners

• What are we designing?
• persona/empathy mapping

Part 2: Mapping out a resource/course

• Use a mindmap for planning
• Wrap up (5 min)
