What are your experiences with active learning? With action and interaction in design?
Design for learning
Think of a learning experience you have had that seemed particularly active to you. Jot down a quick (2-3 minute) reflection in your notebook on the experience. You might consider one or more of the following questions:
- What was the setting and what were you learning?
- What made the learning "active"? Was it experiential in some way? Collaborative? Challenging? ...?
- Was this learning experience memorable? Meaningful? Transformative? Why or why not?
Design for UX
Think of an experience you have had (e.g., in an environment or with a product or service) that seemed particularly active or interactive to you. Jot down a quick (2-3 minute) reflection in your notebook about the experience. You might consider one or more of the following questions:
- What was the setting and what were you doing?
- What made the experience "active" or "interactive"? Was it experiential in some way? Collaborative? Challenging? ...?
- From a design perspective, what made the experience memorable, meaningful, or transformative? If you were the designer, what would you have done to make it more so?
