Asynchronous Exercise 1:
MISMO

This Training of Trainers was designed to upskill you as teacher-trainers in LX Design and using Sibika.ph, to support teachers so they can improve the way they teach civic education in their classes.

For this exercise, we want you to try practicing LX design by designing solutions to the following design challenge: 

Use the Mindsets worksheet and the prompts to reflect and write down your beliefs when it comes to being a teacher-trainer, and about teaching and learning in general. These will form the basis of our design principles - what we believe in and value as essential for learning experiences that we will design and implement. Here's an example of a filled in worksheet:

Use the Intended Outcomes worksheet and fill out what the learners (in this case, teachers) would need to have in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes by the end of the  learning experience you are designing. You might draw inspiration from the discussions we had during our first online session! Here's an example of a filled in worksheet:

Empathy is a key ingredient in designing learning experiences - by empathizing with our learners, we can design learning experiences that accommodate their unique needs and situation so they can achieve their fullest potential. Step into the shoes of our learners by filling in the Starting Context worksheet. You can start with what you know from our discussions in our first session, but we encourage you to try deepening this understanding - try talking to someone that fits the profile of our target learners or doing some research. Here's an example of filled out sheet:

After identifying our learners' SHOES, let's try to synthesize this information into insights - what do we specifically know about our target learner? what's unique about their context? what modalities would best work with their situation? These insights have implications on our LX design and inform the kinds of features we have to consider. Here's an example:

Now it's time to really get into the learning experience we want to give our learners. Thinking about the LX as a set of blocks based on the 6 learning types allows us to more creatively and flexibly reconfigure the ways in which our learners can learn. Use the Modular Steps worksheet and play around with the 6 LX blocks and come up with different configurations that would suit the learners' needs and help in achieving your intended outcomes.

For this exercise, try to come up with a set of modular steps using at least 3 different learning types/LX blocks. The goal is to try and see what combinations and sequences s

Here's an example of modular steps:

Last step - Look back on the insights you've gathered about your target learner and start thinking about extreme cases - what are possible challenges, constraints, or barriers to learning that they might encounter when trying to access the LX you designed for them? From there, try to think of possible options and alternatives that could address these extreme cases - these could be tweaks to the modular steps, a different sequence of LX blocks, etc. Here's an example:
