Design of Learning Experience: The 2014 AECT Research Symposium

• In Event: D&D - Design of Learning Experience: The 2014 AECT Research Symposium

Short Description

Discussion on design and how to study design is ever evolving, no place more evident than at the 2014 AECT Research Symposium. Design is a knowledge base in itself, not a science or an art, and the study of design is quite unique from other traditional research methods. This session will include panel presenters from the symposium who will share their research and reflection on design. Panelists will discuss the results of their research and pose questions for future research for the design community. Those who are interested or currently conducting research in design will not want to miss this opportunity.

This year's AECT research symposium examined the design of learning experience. Two divergent yet parallel themes formed the framework of the symposium; first was an examination of how we can design the experiences of learning, with a focus on the learner and the process of education; and second, how we learn to design educational products, processes and experiences. Selected authors from both areas will present along with summary discussions by symposium organizers.
