Design thinking Assignment

Challenge:

The challenge was present to our community at the school about how to shift  online in this pandemic with a limited but sufficient budget. The main challenge  was how to acquire such software and hardware, which really intrigues the  students and engages them into a learning environment. It should be comfortable  for both students and teachers as both of them are equal and important  contributors into the education of the Children and to ensure that this time which  they have sitting at home does not go to waste.

The approach which we as student council team used was learning launch. We  had researched incredibly on the different kinds of resources which were  available at hand and there was a wide variety of them but learning launch was  most appropriate as it had Human to Human interaction much more than the  other tools

Application:

We started by consulting various experts on remote learning which agreed to  study our case. As soon as we received the detailed analysis from them, we got to  work. My role was pretty important in this whole discussion as I was the tech  head in the student body so all the new technologies had to be formulated in  conjunction with their real impacts and leading consequences on students. We  started with formal meetings. The principal had designed a team which  compromised of expert, teachers and the student council members including me.

Firstly, we all were assigned a specific area to research and come up with the  latest software in that field capable enough to take the full brunt of the remote  learning. The team which I was leading had been assigned a area of “revising”  which basically meant that hoe the students would revise the lectures,  presentations and articles etc. Moreover, this was especially important as all the

students of the school in which I was had to go through the material more than  once, whether be it for a test or just to grasp the material more comprehensively.  As the things developed, we came up with the idea of recording the lectures  through a software and sending it to the students after each email but it was not  possible as the size of the lectures was too big to be fit in a email.

It took a couple of weeks of research to find a new platform, which could be  downloaded on students own personal PCs or laptops and would store the  recorded lectures over the cloud. The learning launch tool became useful in the  sense that it enabled us to conduct small experiments just to observe how the  students would react to this new technology and will they eventually be  comfortable with it. The series of small experiment helped us to realize that the  tool for recording the lectures was much more than what we thought before as  we saw visible improvement in the overall grades of the students.

Furthermore, it also led to improvisation in the initial plan designed by our  principal as we got an unexpected result from our experiment and risks. We  found out that if invest on another remote learning platform which is  LMS(learning management system) and sync the recorded lecture platform with it  to enhance the experience then the teachers could efficiently track the progress  of the students and provide the relevant assistance wherever they need and  however they need.

I recommended this coursera course to my classmates and teachers and they all  benefitted from it. In some way or another they all learned the basics of design  thinking.
