Week 5: Seminar- Innovation in the Experience Economy

-

Notes and observations from a talk by MK Haley (Professor at UCLA, Disney rep)

On Monday this week, I went to a seminar by MK Haley, Professor of UCLA, and representative of Disney (experience design.) 'Innovation in the Experience Economy." She talked about how creating experiences can be an important part of any sales, business, or marketing strategy, referencing The North Face Campaign: https://www.adweek.com/creativity/north-face-gave-these-shoppers-vr-experience-suddenly-got-awesomely-real-167900/.

I've been inspired by her guidelines; guides (POV), gossip (stories), and games (interactivity) which respectively becomes; 'make me aware, make me care, call to action'. These three key points are what's needed to build a great experience, so how can I translate these into education? That's what I'll continue researching this week.

Week 9: Reaffirming My Project

Key problems: Many students and teachers are feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Key aims: Improving student engagement through teacher/ student support. The theory: If teachers are better supported, they'll have more time and energy to spend on their students, therefore students will have a better classroom environment, which will lead to better student engagement and more effective learning overall. But how???... A manifesto for change. Outlining all my research, promoting my findings in a clear, succinct, and actionable way. Provide templates for change- taking the next step from just words. A template resource. (Eg using English/ maths and SHOW how to incorporate diversity into teaching.) Teachers are feeling overloaded, so what parts of their job could be made easier? How can we make the pedagogy process easier, faster, simpler, and more fair/ equal across schools and subjects. What to do when just designing an app/ poster/ website etc just doesn't feel right? ...
