Facilitating Design Experiences

I held a LEM design meeting in my office with Brandon Burr and Brett King. The meeting went really well. Brandon was familiar with LEM before the meeting so there was no need to explain the process. We jumped right into mapping out the course.

Brandon has been tasked with redesigning a hybrid FMCD 5373 course. The current course that is being taught has a really good structure that is consistent and easy to navigate so we decided to keep that. His main goals are to update the assignments and add more practice and dialogue. Once we started talking about the actual assignments themselves, he saw a need to make them more relevant to the student.

I did not map out the current course beforehand because I do not want my instructors to rely on someone else's design. I want to hear how they want the course to be. However, in this case it would have been good in order to see the differences between his plan and the current course and since we decided to keep the same structure, it may have cut down on the time spent mapping everything out.

Using LEDx as a framework, I would add in placeholders in D2L for those elements that we discussed for Brandon's course.
