Summary
Welcome to Design Talk. This episode resurrects a recording from the College of Business Intercultural Forum bite-sized workshop series, session 7. A conversation with Jacob Eisenberg and Allen Higgins on “adapting experiential learning to the digital classroom”. The talk was hosted by Kathleen O’Reilly and Linda Yang. Key takeaways: Students benefit from being in control of at least some of the settings within which learning experiences unfold so, consider using multiple apps rather than integrated systems, for example, separate the video presence experience (e.g. Zoom or Teams) from the digital whiteboard from the shared document. We should encourage experimentation with tools, old and new alike. Experiment with multiple means of engagement like polls, MCQs, discussion boards but feel free to drop a tool if you feel it doesn’t work well. Always be seeking copious feedback from learners all the time. The difficulties or challenges they encounter may be intrinsic to the learning process rather than problems to solve but just knowing where they are in the learning process is valuable; for example, are they stuck, is there a shared misunderstanding or misconception, or knowing who has made progress so they might act as a catalyst for the wider group. Use breakout rooms tactically to scale up and scale down groups to sizes appropriate to the activity.
