Given that Topic 4 for ONL191 focuses on how to support and design for learning, with a particular emphasis on accounting for emotional presence (in the context of the Community of Inquiry framework) in learning design, PBL group 1 decided to focus on an Empathy Map learning design exercise that would be used early in the design process. This exercise, taken from the Extend Ontario materials, helps to empathise with, and better understand, the learner for whom we are designing a learning experience. Our reflections on this exercise can be found on this Padlet page: https://padlet.com/james_brunton/ljcb0mv2xyix
Topic 4 – Exploring an Empathy Map Design Tool
Great work, I very much like that you focus on empathy and compassion for the learner. Thank you for the tip on the Empathy map!
