Educational Design 2019

 

Design thinking is a creative approach to problem-solving, through collaboration and iterative thinking around design. Users’ context and affordances of technology are integrated, taking into consideration systemic constraints to create meaningful, implementable and contextual solutions.

Rationale:

Education technology plays an important role in the education sector today.  Globally it is shaping how teachers teach, how students learn and how teachers develop skills through continuous professional development programs. EdTech in India is set to receive a further push with the recent launch of the Operation Digital Board which promises to bring interactive digital boards into 9 lakh classrooms for grades IX-XII. There is an urgent need to re-examine the traditional transmission mode of knowledge delivery via ICT tools.Technology tools must be leveraged to reimagine pedagogy to support interactive and active learning. To this end, CEIAR is committed to use design thinking to create a space where educators can examine the problem, assumptions, implications and design solutions by understanding learners and their contexts in authentic and humane ways.

Objectives:

This five-day workshop aims to equip and train participants in the creative process of designing technology-based solutions for a pertinent educational problem. Participants will be encouraged to identify and work with a teaching-learning issue emerging from their context. Through hands-on design experiences, participants will create a prototype for their tools/materials, test it and move towards another iteration of the same

Promising prototypes from two groups will be selected for further development in collaboration with TISS. The tools/materials developed will be hosted on the Centre’s OER website.
