Speaker
Description
Online learning can be more than watching slides.
This session explores how to design virtual learning experiences that are hands-on, collaborative, and measurably impactful, building learners' skills and confidence to solve real-world problems. Grounded in constructivist principles, participants learn by doing; social learning theory emphasizes peer observation and feedback; and Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development provides scaffolded guidance towards growth and skill development.
These theories were tested in Creaba's 3-day virtual Design Thinking program, where 11 university students and early career professionals from Japan and Vietnam collaborated across borders to prototype solutions and produce tangible deliverables. Impact was rigorously evaluated through quantitative and qualitative surveys (Tally surveys) measuring skill confidence and engagement, complemented by real-time peer feedback documented on shared FigJam boards, yielding both statistical data and rich qualitative insights on skills development.
This session is for educators seeking to craft online experiences that truly engage and empower, and for students who want to learn differently, effectively, and collaboratively. Join us to explore evidence-based strategies that turn virtual spaces into vibrant learning environments where ideas thrive and impact lasts beyond the screen.
