Facilitating Design Experiences

In this activity, I facilitated a Diagnostic Design Experience of  Implementing a Virtual Study Tour. Using the LED Layers, (Outcome) I learned that I need more information, dialogue and a feedback loop. (Strategy) I learned by re-working the existing design with the group. (System) We noticed gaps and changed/moved/added more building blocks to the LEM so that it's easier to follow and understand. (Experience) I felt the design was a good starting point and enabled us to easily identify areas for improvement of the diagnostic experience. The group was very helpful and confident that the re-designing is a usable LEM to use for a virtual study tour. Next time, I will consider adding more experiential contexts. Using the LEDx Framework, the next steps include reading and evaluating the findings from a dissertation by a University of Florida professor on virtual study tours. This will be beneficial in transitioning from the current state/status to what this virtual study tour could be for students. Finally, the innovation (feedback look) is crucial to sustaining, growing and improving this experience. In the future, we anticipate that the students will embed in the study tours and provide the interviews, content and videos for the online asynchronous/synchronous virtual study tour courses.
