The following design principles were created from my professional experience in technology, evidence-based on the readings of this and previous MALAT courses, as a result of reflecting in the process undertaken by my partner and myself during the design thinking challenge, as well as peer feedback provided. These design principles were also created with a social constructivism approach and with the human element of learning in mind. According to Kim (2001), “social constructivism sees as crucial both the context in which learning occurs and the social contexts that learners bring to their learning environment” (p.4).
