HG4014 DESIGNING INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENTS FOR LEARNING

Creative teaching methods are essential for effectively addressing diverse learning needs in various educational settings. Through hands-on experience in on-campus makerspaces, students, regardless of prior technical expertise, will actively engage in the creation, implementation, and evaluation of interactive learning environments. By integrating Linguistics (e.g., sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics) and the Learning Sciences with the ethos of maker culture, students will tackle and resolve real-world challenges faced by learners. This course caters to students interested in interdisciplinary practice-based research that advances the science of learning and communication for diverse learners, and those aspiring to careers in education or therapy.
