Learner Centred
alignment
Our Focus for this session - Using Systemic Language for Design
• Learning systems & sub-systems
• Inputs and outputs
• Elements
• Boundaries
Learning Objectives - Face to Face Workshop Answer the question, ‘What is a system’
Build capacity to understand systemic thinking
Understand mental models/paradigms
Gain a ‘systems’ perspective
See the whole picture, not just the parts
Focus on underlying structures and patterns
Ask Critical Questions
See systemic patterns in relationships
Practise ‘seeing systems’ & ‘applying systems thinking’ techniques, tools and
approaches
Overall Outcome: Increase capacity for Systemic Thinking at UBC
• Creates cognitive dissonance re way professionals taught to approach work – linear problem solving v/s holistic systemic approach
= “Flipped Classroom” Systemic Thinking Program
Outcome: Increased Systemic Thinking Capacity at UBC

outcome: Increasing the capacity to apply systemic thinking at UBC
Learning Design Questions
to play with
• Choose a learning system
• Are your learning outcomes being achieved?
• Inputs & outputs?
• Boundaries, sub-systems, and stretching the boundaries…
• Rhythm & Relationship of sub-systems?
• Insights?

The Continuing Evolution...
Online workshop – provocative applicable questions; peer online discussion of concepts in practice
Space in between – more conscious application here
Face to face – less lecture/more application - particularly FEEDBACK about their application
Space after – Part 2, workplace follow up; peer discussion/application/ Community of Practice
