ELIS Making Learning Visible Day 2024

#ELISlearnstogether

How might we understand our learners' needs before designing learning experiences? How could we apply Design Thinking processes to frame constraints as opportunities in the generation of new ideas and approaches?

This year, ELIS benefitted from the expertise of Dr Wong Yew Leong, Lecturer with the Policy, Curriculum and Leadership Academic Department in the National Institute of Education, as a knowledgeable other in our learning about Design Thinking processes.

The interactions facilitated by Dr Wong prompted reflection on how we could co-review and co-design our learning programmes and courses to address teacher learners’ needs more effectively. Our reflections as facilitators of learning drove home to us the primary importance of stepping into the shoes of learners.

At the ELIS Making Learning Visible Day on 12 November 2024, we explored the use of a fishbowl conversation to listen to and discuss one another's learning from applying Design Thinking principles and processes in our inquiry projects.
