Learning Experience Design Statement

“I really liked working on Gather, having tables, being able to walk around, and present the way we did. It allowed school to feel a little bit more normal during this distanced learning.”

“I really liked the use of Gather in this class. Although it's not like being on campus, I did think it was pretty fun to be in a virtual campus setting and sit at a table with peers in a 'classroom.'”

“It was an innovative way to have students participate and felt more like a community than zoom would have.”

“The use of Gather is very interesting, it simulated the real life classroom, so I can consentrate [sic] better, at least better than Zoom.”

“I was interested in Gather from the beginning of the course, and I enjoyed every time of the class. Especially during the poster session, when I saw a poster displayed in Gather, I felt like I was really in the exhibition hall.”

Students have the option to:

• Attend live class on Gather
• Attend live class on Zoom
• Watch recording of Gather

“To start, even though I was unable to attend the lectures, I loved that you incorporated gather to connect us as a class. I loved watching these lectures because it was so much more interesting than watching just a zoom recording. This educational technology connected the class by making it feel more like a classroom.”

Students have the option to:

• Participate via chat
• Participate by talking
• Participate on Perusall

Digitial environments give us the opportunity to reenvision the architecture of schooling in ways difficult to do in the physical space.
