Series Description
As part of the J-WEL Connections event, we have developed a series of sessions around "Designing Learning Experiences" to support educators as they design activities and curricula inspired by MIT’s “Mens et Manus” (minds and hands) approach to learning. Our goal is to empower educators to be able to construct learning experiences where they can be the most effective at engaging with learners, not only while considering a given classroom environment and subject matter, but also their educational systems, their students, and themselves.
Both what is learned and how learning happens are both important aspects of the learning experience, and we will focus on how approaches such as a multidisciplinary learning can best integrate concepts from different domains.
Through this six-week series, participants will be presented with different concrete approaches to curriculum design, be given the opportunity to deepen their understanding of different methodologies such as project-, inquiry-, and blended-based learning, and consider the impact of authentic assessment. The series will end with a design thinking session that will lead into a curriculum design project where participants will collaborate with peers and get feedback from members of the MIT community.
