Dimension 2: Learning Experience & Assessment Design Kit

How do we create activities and assessments that engage all students equally, whether they’re in the classroom or joining from across the world? This dimension addresses the pedagogical redesign necessary for effective hybrid teaching.

Drawing on multiple instructional design traditions, learning design methodologies, and empirical hybrid research (including Laurillard’s six learning types, ABC Learning Design rapid prototyping, ICAP cognitive engagement framework, and studies documenting engagement disparities), these tools support systematic activity design that ensures equivalent opportunities regardless of location.
