THE
DESIGN BRIEF
GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP 101 This course should build a base of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that sparks students to ‘travel well’, to be curious about the broader world, and to take seriously the responsibility of being a true global citizen. There are three ‘buckets’ to consider in the design:
CONTENT What are the discrete knowledge, skills, and attitudes that comprise ‘global citizenship’ at the secondary school level? What are the learning pathways and generative topics that will fulfil the course objectives?
EXPERIENCE How can the user experience best realize the potential of the online medium? What activities can students complete to prove their understanding? How can the learning management system be structured to ensure that all students receive high quality feedback and assessment?
DELIVERY
How might this course be best integrated/absorbed into a school curriculum? How might teachers best use the elements of this course in their classroom? How can we ensure that students stay motivated to complete the course?
PREPARATION
EXERCISES ONE
Think about the last time that you learned something online. This can be part of a structured course, an assignment for school/work, your own research, or something you did for fun. What was the visual, physical, cognitive, and emotional experience like for you?
TWO Choose one website or app that you love. What about it appeals to you? What are the visual elements that make it a joy to use?
THREE Who is the one person who best represents a ‘global citizen’ in your life? What about this person makes you think of him/her?
