How the students learn
Instead, I've asked the learners to learn, teach and try out the methods and share them through little Loom and Descript videos that we're adding to a Miro board.
What I do as a facilitator
So what's my job if I'm not teaching?
- I select the right methods
- I sort with the students which are the methods in two big buckets:
- Know methods where students could use just a few pro tips
- Unknown methods where students need to discover them and try them out
- I point students toward interesting sources with the methods library from my companion online course on Design Methods
- I add a few pro tips based on my experience of using the methods
- Answer questions
The sorting of methods
The methods in the Miro board
A view of different methods, with each their short 3-5 minute video and card.
In each card, you find:
- What the method is
- When you should use it
- Resources to go further
- And my pro tips
Using Miro makes it easy to make a visual course schedule, showing clearly:
- What method will be taught when
- What methods that the students already know will just receive a few pro tips from my side
Going further
You can see the mini Service Blueprint I've created to imagine this course here.
You can also find here a Miro template I've created to teach experience prototyping remotely.
How this was made possible
Thanks Klaus Marek for giving me the opportunity to be part of the Spatial Design Bachelor of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts
How I would make this better today
One thing that I would change is to put as a rule that students have to at least reference one academic paper for each method. This helps them then also look for academic sources.
