Two Pilot Workshops
1. Design Studio: Learning and Technology– Feb 10 – Mar 22:
six weeks online– School of
Education and Technology, RRU
– Mentor network
Lessons Learned - Planning
• Strong Sponsor buy-in = addressing “real” needs
• Be very clear about the purpose and goal (e.g. Design Studio: Learning and Technology)
• Have enough facilitators (1:4 ratio in SET vs. 1:70 ratio in Tianjin)
• Ongoing mentorship is important
Lessons Learned - Facilitation• Balance between achieving the goal
and being completely open• Give plenty of space for participants
to experiment• Facilitator becomes a member of the
team during Stage 4: experimentation• Invite sponsor to be part of the
workshop (e.g. SET hosted two synchronous sessions)
Measuring Success
• Evidence of sustainable innovations• Participant feedback
Feedback
The Design Thinking Model as a framework for the course helped me to explore my challenge, articulate what I needed, experiment with some ideas and resources, and get a good start on a product.
...gave me the motivation to work through something I have been thinking about for a while.
An excellent learning opportunity!
Appreciated having choice about what to focus on.
It looks as though there were some very positive outcomes from the session and we hope it sparked an interest for the participants to explore more tools that they can use in their course delivery. from program head
