Ls 301 Pinkard Fall 2019

This course explores learning theories, design principals, experience design frameworks, and their application through the design of learning environments created to engage individual youth, youth from shared geographic neighborhoods, and an entire districts’ middle school population in using and keeping their computational making skills. Students will examine a variety of learning-oriented app, spaces, and programs to understand learning goals, tasks, and learning supports. Working individually and in groups, students will gain practical experience designing learning environments and experiences that are contextually relevant.
