WORKSHOP

In this 1-day hands-on workshop, we will explore how to design interactive and engaging student learning experiences using technology. We will actively look at how we can transform face-to-face (F2F) learning using the ‘Flipped Classroom’ and ‘Gamification’ methods.  Then we will explore how we can use social media and web 2.0 to engage students, empower collaborative online learning spaces, and development interactive content. Participants will be engaged throughout the workshop with learning activities, including the gamified group challenge during the afternoon. It will be fun, engaging, and participants will get a taste of how they can use technology to transform the students’ learning process.


After this workshop, you will be able to:
  • Discuss how the brain learns.
  • Apply Gagne’s 9 events of instruction to design more engaging learning content and environments.
  • Use web 2.0 tools to design and publish interactive and engaging learning content.
  • Apply Flipped Classroom and Gamification methods to your teaching and learning.
  • Use interactive web tools to engage and assess students during face-to-face learning sessions.

90 of All Usability Testing is Useless By Lane Becker

Link to article
Adaptive Paths Lane Becker argues that it is important to have the right usability testing mindset. According to him, "Ninety percent of all usability testing performed on Web sites is useless."

  • Usability testing is design, not QA.
  • Usability testing should be a core competence owned by the design team.

A short, but useful article worth reading. It might save you a lot of time on useless usability testing, and open your mind to new and more creative ways in improving your website or portal design.
