TURN EXISTING (COURSES & CONTENT) INTO EXCITING!
Create the space for connection, consolidation and co-creation to land, share, inspire and sharpen your programme(s), and set the platform for the next phase of your pedagogical development. An invitation to increase the potential and bandwidth for risk, engagement, creativity and innovation in the next version of a course or part of a programme and to aid the reflection of your own practice!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
This online workshop is a self-directed opportunity to start exploring the Learning Arch Design Methodology for offline, online & hybrid learning. You will be introduced to how the visualise your leaning designs and learning experiences to unlock students engagement and autonomy as well as provide you with a method to aid the reflection of your own personal and professional practice.
The Learning Arches (LAs) are a method for designing transparent, collaborative and experiential learning journeys or processes that maximise engagement, capacity, ambition, ownership, confidence, relevance and most importantly, dialogue between the learners and hosts, facilitators, instructors or teachers as stakeholders of the learning.
The course is built on and will follow this publication, which is taken from this larger publication which is adapted for online learning arch design from this E.BOOK.
THE BOOTCAMP BREAKDOWN
In this bootcamp, we will focus on the core elements of SETTING, HOLDING AND LANDING OF THE LEARNING JOURNEY, ARCHES, EXPERIENCES & SPACES: Convert times HERE

MONDAY WEEK #1
SET EVENT: PERSONAL: 2HR SESSION @ 15:00 CET > ZOOM
Where are YOU at and what's your learning edge?
- Learning maturity, epistemology and intro to learning arches.
- How to SET the learning journey, learning culture and learning style.
- Work with skills, knowledge, attitudes & values.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
MONDAY WEEK #2
HOLD EVENT: PRACTICAL: 2HR SESSION @ 15:00 CET > ZOOM
What happens ABOVE the line? THE KNOWN!
- How to HOLD the learning space and learning arches. (intervention and guidance)
- Cont. to Design the learning experience.
- Design for Learning Development: personal, practical & professional
- Explore how to design learning contexts and use interventions and disturbances.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
MONDAY WEEK #3
LAND EVENT: PROFESSIONAL: 2HR SESSION @ 15:00 CET > ZOOM
What happens BELOW the line? - THE UNKNOWN!
- How to LAND the learning space and learning arches. (Assessment, measurement, analysis, evaluation and reflection).
- Explore the needs in the the BOOTCAMP Team to support a strategy for next steps.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
We will explore 1 of the 4Ds: Define, DESIGN, Deliver & Discover, and across the following three learning levels:
- Design for 3P Learning Development: personal, practical & professional.
- Design the Learning style: act, learn, adapt & repeat.
- Design for individual, group and team based learning and pedagogy.

* This app is in beta version & work in progress...
1 x 2 hours session on the MONDAY of each week, plus approx. 2 hours work on individual practice after each session.
Online, we will combine, live LAD talk-shops and group* breakout design sessions and
Offline self directed work!
Each event will set the stage for the weeks CREATIVE, OPEN AND EXPLORATIVE offline and analogue learning arch prototyping, sketching & Design. (supported by in session triads).
So, there will be
There will be 3 x LAD sprints*, 2 during the course and one in the week after the course ends to apply the last dose of learning.
You have the option to work as much as you like during the sprints and connect in your LAD triad groups as your group decides. This could be informal walk & talk session or short zoom calls for creative sparring, support and feedback sessions.
There will also be other reference materials like the 'new' Learning Design Element app* and periodic poster (above), a few short perspective adjusting and confirming videos.
There is no ongoing input or support from the course leader apart from the 3 x 2 hour sessions and a concise weekly prompt.
* The programme is built on the idea that you bring an existing programme to work on. You can also, join to learn the methodology and apply later.
DESIRED OUTCOMES
- Explore the power of visualising learning journeys & learning experience design for packaging skills, knowledge, attitudes and values for autonomous (self directed) and personal, practical and professional level development.
- Basic introduction to the core Kaospilot learning design method & toolbox (elements) for experiential and problem/action/context-based learning design.
- Basic introduction to the full 4D learning arch design process with focus on the 2nd D, Designing Learning Arches.
- Create a clear overview in order to inspire creativity in developing an engaging learning journey which ‘un-packs the pursuit of knowledge’ for on/off/hybrid delivery.
Optional & emergent: Explore and design for different future & covid scenarios and dogma, fx: full online, hybrid, reduced students or studio access, best content for online etc.
"Deliver education that is authentic and opportunistic in nature, experimental and real in praxis. All else is rudimentary."
Why LEARNING ARCHES? Don't take my word for it ....

“What is a Learning Arch? It’s an action-packed sequence of “learning by doing;” a series of challenges, launched with a bit of mystery; linked by compelling narrative; stuffed full of real-world puzzles, challenges and dilemmas, landing with a public exhibition and followed by reflection and “lessons learned. Semesters, textbooks and standardised tests are no match for Learning Arches, real world challenges and lessons learned, because a soulless bureaucracy is no substitute for a fulfilling Hero’s Journey.”

"Learning Arches - the MacGyver Tool Kit and Mindset. The uniqueness of the Learning arch method cannot be doubted by anyone. But nevertheless, I would like to highlight some personal experiences that strongly influenced my mindset."

"The learning arches represent a learning cycle, which can be the 3 years of a degree, a semester,
a month, a week. In each arch there needs to be a start, a mid point where there should be some kind of assessment of the module and a landing or ending point, that offers the students or participants an end and a closure to a cycle."

"The Learning Arches forced us to re-think our curriculum and thereby our existing mindset. It is a long-term process designing a new integrative and less complex curriculum, but using the Learning Arches in its total context (not only as a design technique) proves to be very powerful in making a fundamental change, in designing education that is focused at the students, and allowing teachers to (re)discover their passion and strength in their teaching profession."
