Response to Kynan Shurniak’s Module 2 Post
Hi Kynan,
Your post made a great connection between Backward Design and programming. The way you compared setting clear learning outcomes to understanding program requirements before coding really stood out. It was an effective example that showed how planning with the end goal in mind can improve both software development and learning design. I also liked how you explained the difference between surface and deep learning through your experience with projects versus exams. That contrast clearly demonstrated how applying knowledge leads to more lasting understanding.
I wonder if you could expand a bit more on how project-based learning might connect to empathy or user needs, similar to how Design Thinking emphasizes understanding the learner. It might help show how real-world projects not only build skills but also encourage reflection and adaptability. Overall, your examples and explanations made the concepts of effective learning design really easy to follow!
