Powerful Ideas for Learning Sciences and Technology Design: Distributed Intel & Installation…

Catalog description

This course is intended as a graduate level seminar that provides in-depth readings and discussions on Installation Theory (Lahlou, 2018). Installation theory (IT) is a fresh synthetic theory explaining how humans construct systems that support and format behavior. The three layers of the IT framework are affordances, embodied competences and social regulation. IT can be used to analyze behaviour, and as a theory of design for behavioral change. We will explore the applications of IT for analyzing, creating, and researching learning environment designs and associated learning processes and outcomes.
