Learner Centered Design Education

The course you design. The course you teach your students. Could be learner centered. Soumitri Varadarajan reflects upon 35 years of teaching Industrial Design. Examining what works. Wondering why he does things the way he does. Imagining that some of this could be useful to someone. Somewhere. Disclaimer: This is not a broadcast attempting to inform you. This is merely a portal into Soumitri's brain. Into his thought experiments. It is him questioning everything. It is him finding no answers. So go away! Do not listen to this! Stop being curious.

रेडियो बकरी #5: क्या सिलाई से साइंस सीखी जा सकती है? 09.10.2021

The idea that the student has grown up as a goat herd and has played with goats. That she has an emotional attachment with goats. That she will miss the goats when she is at school.

रेडियो बकरी #3: क्या आप गानों के माध्यम से हिंदी सीख सकते हैं? 09.10.2021

If the answer is yes, then if you had to design a program for a singing camp. What would that look like? Maybe a lot of antakshari playing. Then some speculation on meanings. Lots of laughter. Finding out words, their meanings and adding them to ones brain. The language gym! Maybe writing them out in ROMAJI. That is the word for the script when you write Japanese using English alphabets. Isn't wri...

Can you then learn more cricket words? Do you know other English words? Police, Bus, Bank, Okay?  Learner Centered Design Education: https://rawslearn.wordpress.com/

Worried about Podcast Cover and Content Plan? 05.10.2021

I asked Canva and Iain, my son, for help to do my Podcast Covers. I activated my play mode to do the covers. Then when my brain fired up I sat down to build a an excel/ Airtable spread sheet of topics for future podcast episodes.

How I started with Podcasts 03.10.2021

This is a Sunday recording. A story of how I got into making podcasts. Well not the whole story. I have omitted a lot of the disasters. The Failures. For while I am forever failing in things I start. Never finishing things I start. That is another way to tell a story. This one is more orientated to you. You who have thought about it. Hmmm, should I do podcasts? Maybe. Maybe another time. The what...

What then is "Heart Work"? 03.10.2021

(Yesterday) was week 10. That is when I has a class - that I refer to as the 'lets pack up' and move on class. I divide a semester of 12 weeks into 4 quarters of 3 classes. So this is the last quarter. What did I say in class? Well, I wrote up what I said. Some of it. As a journal entry.  Also, To class I took a series of phrases that I had been  listening to in the podcasts over the wee...
