Our platform acts as a supplemental aid to both students and educators in the course. While most instruction will be completed in person, the weekly schedule provides an opportunity for students to review key points covered in past sessions. Students will also utilize our platform to submit weekly journaling activies.
Design Rationale (see full Design Rationale here)
"Using social learning theory, the beginning weeks will expose students to correct and exemplary conflict resolution behavior. The facilitator will then lead the class in discussion on key characteristics they identified from their own interpretation." Week 1.2
"It was also important to us to provide a safe and constructive learning environment where students can receive personalized feedback from a professional, as well as engage in peer feedback." Week 2.2
"Once students have begun forming connections with each other and understand the key principles to conflict resolution, they will be giving the opportunity to practice in a controlled environment." Week 2.2
"Building on their own observations, students will review appropriate questioning techniques to understand, identify, and clarify the issues, needs, and perspectives of others, as well as reframing negative language and perceptions to facilitate constructive dialogue." Week 3
"Through these activities, students will not only understand the important components to conflict resolution, but they will analyze their own strengths and areas for improvement." Week 4.2, Journal Activities
