Hi! Welcome to “Creative Digital Learning”, the first course of the Facebook Digital Tayo CARE Program on Habi Plus.
This course is part of a series of courses we designed in collaboration with Facebook Digital Tayo to support teachers in educating future generations of learners with care, and ensuring that they experience creative, accessible, responsible and enriching learning experiences.
This course is for teachers who want to learn more about how to design creative and compelling learning experiences.
We’ll discuss some principles and key considerations for learning under changing contexts, and how we can design our way around it through Learning Experience Design.
We’ll also get to practice applying these new concepts by using a framework we call MISMO, or Mindsets, Intended Outcomes, Starting Context, Modular Steps, and Options and Alternatives.
Please read through the information after this video for other reminders and things you need to know.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the course facilitators through their contact details below.
See you in our course, and happy learning!
