4. Activity #1
On your tables, briefly discuss the
Prof. Eric Mazur video
What did you think of the broad
change process he outlined?

5. •Realised student learning was not what he wanted,
•reflected & explained (theorised) what the problem
was,
•used research evidence,
•empathised & understood the nature of his students
learning experiences,
•created, tested, evaluated and evolved a new

6. Design thinking process
1. Discovery
How do I approach
the problem?
2. Interpretation
How do I interpret it?
3. Ideation
What do I create?
4. Experimentation
How do I build it?
5. Evolution
How do I evolve it?
• Empathetic
• Collaborative
• Optimistic
• Experimental

7. •Re-design focused on active student learning –
design of learning activities, formative assessment,
peer learning,
•Clear student & staff roles,
•Alignment of technology to support learning and
