Excellence-in-ReSTI - Project partners agreed on using Kolb’s four learning phases and “Five door” approach

29-10-2017

FHB prepared the ReSTI Approach to Learning based on the four Kolb Learning Phases (including thinking, observing, relating, and doing) to offer flexible ways of learning. In order for participants to choose the learning style that works best for them or is most interesting to them, each course will be accessible through “five doors” behind which content is offered in a variety of modes—addressing different learning preferences.This multi-door approach was originally developed and successfully applied by Thiagi, an internationally renown designer of learning activities and games. The five doors are:

·  The Library (digital parking lot for a variety of resources, readings and media)

·  The Forest (activities for reflecting upon content)

·  The Café (activities for engaging with others)

·  The Playground (activities to learn by playing)

·  The Self-Assessment (testing gained knowledge and acquired skill levels)

 

 

 

In addition to these five doors, each course will begin with an introduction and include a discussion board that runs through all five doors.

During the pilot study in 2018/19, all participants eligible for certification will be expected to complete all of the assignments behind each door to optimize the feedback loop, while—in reality—participants could test out of courses if they pass the self-assessment test.
