Case Studies [Renata Gizatulina]

Custom Course for ITMO University Teachers ➝

Objective
Educators from various departments of#nbsp;ITMO University needed to#nbsp;design programs for#nbsp;online and#nbsp;blended learning.
Who worked on the case
Renata Gizatulina, Valentina Rusakova, Artem Pichugin, Elizaveta Sheina
Solution
We#nbsp;conducted a#nbsp;custom "Redesign It!" course for teachers, learning specialists and program managers. The#nbsp;course was tailored to#nbsp;the needs of#nbsp;the university students.

Participants worked on#nbsp;their own projects both individually and#nbsp;in#nbsp;groups. Projects covered a#nbsp;wide range of#nbsp;topics, from creating a#nbsp;course on#nbsp;scientific journalism to#nbsp;developing a#nbsp;strategy for redesigning a#nbsp;master’s program in#nbsp;innovative marketing.
Results
90% of participants completed the course successfully and presented their projects.
Feedback
"'Redesign It!' is#nbsp;all about transformation and reaching your goals. The course expands our understanding of#nbsp;learning experience design. Even if#nbsp;you think everything is#nbsp;clear and works well, "Redesign it!" will probably help you see weak spots in#nbsp;your course. But don’t worry! You will also learn how to#nbsp;fix them. The course provides you with useful knowledge and inspires you to#nbsp;create something new. Mentor support and individual consultations are powerful tools for those overwhelmed by#nbsp;the amount of#nbsp;new information and the need to#nbsp;perfect their craft."
"This course is#nbsp;especially good for teachers, particularly for younger ones. After the course everything fell into place for#nbsp;me. I#nbsp;used to#nbsp;follow my#nbsp;intuition in#nbsp;some aspects. Now I#nbsp;understand what to#nbsp;do, how to#nbsp;do#nbsp;it and where to#nbsp;use certain methods. I’m especially thankful for the abundance of#nbsp;practical tools in#nbsp;the course. You’ve inspired me#nbsp;to#nbsp;design my#nbsp;own course, which I#nbsp;postponed for a#nbsp;long time! Thank you!"
"Thank you for this course! It#nbsp;has helped me#nbsp;find time and space for creating my#nbsp;own course. My#nbsp;course wasn’t mandatory, so#nbsp;without ‘Redesign It!' I#nbsp;would never have created or#nbsp;even planned#nbsp;it. However, it#nbsp;often felt like we#nbsp;were going in#nbsp;circles, saying the same things in#nbsp;different words. I#nbsp;wish we#nbsp;had dedicated a#nbsp;week to#nbsp;content creation and learning how to#nbsp;produce a#nbsp;video that people would watch, or#nbsp;how to#nbsp;write a#nbsp;script and check if#nbsp;it’s clear. I#nbsp;wish there had been an#nbsp;assignment or#nbsp;materials/handouts about creating content."
"Thank you so#nbsp;much! The course was incredibly interesting and intense! ❤️❤️❤️I am#nbsp;looking forward to#nbsp;your other projects."
