yes, let's do the thursday instead and stick to the 3 webinars - 12-1? I have meetings 1:45 to 4:30. I started drafting an email at the top of our other doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iL0DbGWflRC9EsB-cdgngxVg_GaumzLYlWKw1-hLHSY/edit?usp=sharing

Hi Nicola,Let's make workshop 3 Friday,15 May.I will confirm with Willie and ingorm Jakob.Must just chack what time is 9 LA time.Regards,Jolanda
Nicola Pallitt
Sorry - I got confused - still in Joburg the Thursday 14th, possibly talking about blended learning at Wits, 15th I'm back in CT. The meetings I mentioned are this week Thursday
Nicola Pallitt
need a slide for this or discuss when do overview? Perhaps add to pre-workshop email?
Jolanda De Villiers Morkel
I think we can add it to the pre-workshop e mail.
Jolanda De Villiers Morkel
Overview slide: Do you think we should stick to Friday afternoon, or rather Thursday afternoon? We can continue in the forums until Tuesday, 19 May - and stick to the 3 webinars we originally intended?
What is learning?
Nicola Pallitt
She looks interesting - design thinking in Uni settings http://www.pilarsaura.com/2013/01/2013-definition-of-design-thinking.html
Jolanda De Villiers Morkel
Very interesting.
Jolanda De Villiers Morkel
Moving backwards from people, talks about the learning EXPERIENCE, using empathy!
Nicola Pallitt
design is also a wicked problem lolPerhaps introduce the idea of wicked problems earlier so the other stuff makes sense?
Jolanda De Villiers Morkel
Will look for material to add here...
What is learning? “The activity or process of
gaining knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught, or experiencing something: the activity of someone who learns.”
Evidence of learning is change in behaviour.

What is design? You cannot hold a design in your hand. It's not a thing. It's a process. A system. A way of thinking. (Bob Gill)
Design Thinking is a creative process of thinking backwards from people, that leads to design of a service, a product etc., based on the conclusions of the knowledge gathered in the process. (Pilar Saura)
Do we really need a simple definition of design or should we accept that design is too complex a matter to be summarized in less than a book?(Bryan Lawson)

Learning design:
a design-thinking approach…
A MINDSET not a method
Focus on the LEARNING EXPERIENCE, not the TECHNOLOGY
Iterative not linear Innovative not procedural

We can move this slide up - let's confirm the sequence later
Nicola Pallitt
Agree - move up

need 3 slides for design process? Or talk to your sketch?
Jolanda De Villiers Morkel
Perhaps we only need one slide.
Jolanda De Villiers Morkel
Take out 20 - we can use it later.

Take out 19 - can use it later
Jolanda De Villiers Morkel
Perhaps keep 18 to show the typical linear sequential approach

Perhaps take out the red ellipse in slide 21
What is this?
Umbrella [noun]
A light, small, portable, usually circular cover for protection from rain or sun, consisting of a fabric, held on a collapsible frame of thin ribs radiating from the top of a carrying stick or handle.Dictionary.reference.com
Did you know?
The word 'umbrella' comes from the Latin 'umbra' meaning shade or shadow. The basic umbrella was probably invented by the Chinese over 4,000 years ago, to provide shade from the sun. The Chinese first waterproofed their umbrellas, using oiled or waxed paper and used mulberry bark or bamboo for frames.
http://www.umbrellahistory.net/
If umbrella is the solution,
what is the problem?
Do you think it is a good
solution to the problem?
If not, what problemis it not
sufficiently solving?
How would this (re)definition of
the problem change the
design?
It depends on how the problem is framed…

A large corporate client approaches a learning design team to design a learning experience intervention to educate staff on HIV/ Aids. 3000 employees spread across 2 cities and 5 sites need to be trained. The objective of the training is to train staff to be aware of health issues related to HIV/ Aids, to address the stigma and to change their mindset about the epidemic. The target audience consists of knowledge workers, mostly graduates. They have limited exposure to eLearning. Previous eLearning exposure was for compulsory compliance training. Employees are based in different departments and represent a range of age groups, from early 20s to mid 50s. The time commitment should be no more than 1 hour.

Willie had some edits if I remember?
The results
● Within 4 hours: 78% completion
● Attitude shift
● Conversation
● Anecdotal evidence of learning
• Divergent thinking (convergent later)• Consider many alternatives• Ask many “what if” questions• Use analogies to explore the possibilities

Concepts are frameworks within which we can design solutions to problems/ challenges
They can be seen as a coherent set of guiding principles, which inform us at every step of the design process.
They are are development of our overall architectural intention.
They should NOT be seen as static and unchangeable, but rather as flexible and malleable approaches
They “instruct” us how to make decisions about any aspect of the design
To prioritize design issues that have to be dealt with (limits design decisions)
The Town Hall at Saynatsalo, Finland (1950 – 1961)
Finnish Architect, Alvar Aalto
Inspired throughout his career by the Italian hill towns;
• “The town on the hill… is the purest, most individual and most natural form in urban design”
• “Nothing does a town greater honour than a well-developed public life and beautiful, functional public places…”
Baker, Geoffrey H. Design Strategies in Architecture. New York, 1989

In your groups… Explore the analogies below:one per group
Write down keywords to describe the learning experience that might be associated with and triggered by the concept/ analogy.
