Contents
In this course, participants will develop a tangible light to facilitate the group process (discussion and collaboration) in the classroom. We will provide some group process ideas (such as peer instruction, community-supported worksheets, community problem creation, participatory problems or patterns) for working with. However, you can build on your own idea as well.
Accepted students will work on the following tasks: (1) understand the above group process ideas, (2) create conceptual ideas about how tangible light can be design to support these group processes, (3) design and implement the design concept with a real lamp and related materials (we will provide all necessary materials).
This class will have about 5 groups and each group consists of 4 students. Accepted students will form the group at the beginning. The cooperation comes from different majors is recommended. All groups will work on these group process ideas.
