Re: Teaching IxD through design challenges: Which challenges?

Hi John,

Call it what you will, case-based, scenario-based or project based
learning, they're great for teaching analytical and critical
thinking skills using real world challenges.  The key to doing this
well is to carefully consider what outcomes you wish to achieve.
Coming at this from an instructional design perspective, you need to
figure out the learning objectives for your students which are
measureable, observable results.  Rather than what lessons do you
want them to learn, what identifiable skills do you want them to
learn?

I'd be willing to talk to you about this offline if you're
interested.  Developing learning objectives isn't always as
straighforward as it seems.

Cheers,
pat
