The key to learning is feedback. It is nearly impossible to learn anything without it.

summary

Reflecting on feedback

After obtaining feedback on your prototype, you may want to use the Design Thinking Feedback Grid Template to organise your own reflective thoughts about your prototype, in addition to the comments and feedback you received in the Discussion Forum.

  • To use the template, go into the File menu on the Google document and make a copy of the file. Rename the file for yourself, save it, and complete the template.

Refine

Based on your fellow learners’ responses, you can now take steps to synthesise the feedback received, in order to refine the technology-enhanced learning activity you’ve created. It is important to recognise that often it is not practical or beneficial to fix every perceived user issue. You might want to take the feedback received and prioritise it based on feasibility and how it works, to evolve the best solution for your learner challenge.

Connect to Your Professional Practice

This exercise has you thinking about how you will integrate technology into your professional practice; now it is time to think about how you will ‘integrate this integration’. Just as an architect would envision users of a new building walking through it, you need to craft an implementation plan as to how your learners will progress through your tech creation as a technology-enhanced learning activity.

You might want to storyboard the process or create a checklist. Either way, map and clearly sequence the instructions you will give your learners. Make sure to indicate how the different elements fit together and link the activity to your learning outcomes. If you get to this point and can’t connect your technology creation/activity back to your course learning outcomes, this is a red flag and you probably need to re-think!
