How do you translate the iterative process of research into an online tutorial? This workshop explores how one university used a design thinking process to build an online "choose your own adventure" style tutorial that emphasized how research is not linear, but rather a process that unfolded based on choices. Participants will learn about design thinking strategies, and consider questions of scalability as well as user feedback. This hands-on workshop will also guide participants through various tools and templates to use to create their own tutorials. Participants should bring their own laptop to try out tools if desired.
Participants will:
Consider how non-linear tutorials can highlight the iterative nature of research and improve student learning of the "Research as Inquiry" frame
Understand the fundamentals of the design thinking process as it relates to creating online tutorials
Learn how to use free online tools to create a "choose your own adventure" tutorial
