Learning, Instruction, Design

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

In this course, we will explore the connections between learning, instructional, and design theories to build a common knowledge base for understanding different approaches to instruction. We will frame our exploration by asking what is, so what, and now what. As a result, we will create a repository of our collective knowledge of the different approaches. We will then use a virtual role-play simulation platform to dive deeper into the different approaches. The role-play scenarios will enable you to apply your knowledge in various situations and learning environments. This course is designed following a sensemaking theoretical perspective that supports meaning-making based on shared experiences. Our exploration of the connections between learning, instruction, and design will therefore begin with sensemaking.
