Learning: Experience Design

Design a set of affordances conducive to social learning
“Teaching is changing. It is no longer simply about passing on knowledge to the next generation. Teachers in the 21st century, in all educational sectors, have to cope with an ever-changing cultural and technological environment. Teaching is now a design science.
Like other design professionals – architects, engineers, town planners, programmers – teachers have to work out creative and evidence-based ways of improving what they do. But teaching is not treated as a design profession.”

– OCTEL Open Course in Technology Enhanced Learning (Week Six activities)
Here’s my blog post on week 6.  Admittedly, it’s pretty light on because with my experience in the corporate world developing programs related to sales, service, leadership or business related content, assessment is not a key driver or consideration for our clients – and for some reason, there’s a bit of fear about it as well.

http://activatelearning.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/octel-week-6-timely-and-effective-assessment/
