Design of Formative Experiences

This doctoral seminar examines formative education through the lenses of design thinking, developmental psychology, and the learning sciences. Through reading and discussion, and visits by guest speakers, it explores the nature of experiential and holistic learning, the impact of artificial intelligence, the relation of education and entrepreneurship, and other topics. Seminar students will themselves participate in an iterative design process, a hands-on inquiry into the role of design and innovation in the development and implementation of technology-rich formative learning experiences.
