Connecting Liberatory Design ArtifactsThis semester-long project combined two frameworks of design to ideate, research, prototype, and revise a solution to a perceived problem in my workplace. The analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation or ADDIE design model is useful because it fits a variety of instructional designs. This makes it ideal to use in the business or education world. While a newer model, Liberatory design nicely aligns with ADDIE in that ADDIE provides a more stable framework by which to apply the equitable and just principles of design that the Liberatory framework brings. Liberatory design aligns with my ethos as a teacher, facilitator, and designer, and ADDIE provided an excellent backdrop in which to move the project forward.
Overall, the combination of the two allowed me to build a holistic picture of my school and stakeholders involved in order to co-design a thoughtful and equitable solution to a problem. The following posts will take you through brainstorming to prototyping and finally reflection on the process.

Learning Experience Design Technology and History
These infographics were created as a way to summarize key concepts — historical and technological — related to the field of learning experience design. The first infographic was created without the use of AI, and it synthesizes information from sever courses I took as part of my master’s degree: Learning Psychology, History of Assessment, and Current Topics and Trends in Learning Experience Design. The second infographic was created with the generative AI site Venngage. This was done to explore the challenges and opportunities for human and AI design.
Infographic One: Human Created
Infographic Two: Created with the Assistance of Generative AI
When designing on my own, it was difficult to narrow down all of the information I wanted to include into an infographic format. More than once, I caught myself wishing I had the chance to write this in a paper so I could explain my thinking more clearly. However, working on my own without generative AI assistance makes me take more pride in my work. It also allows me to know exactly where my information comes from, thereby identifying potential biases in sources and making sure I can attribute credit when needed. However, generative AI is more concise than I am. It is also able to effortlessly align elements and select accessible fonts and colors on the first try. However, it does not cite where its information comes from. It is also unable to generate its own thoughts, and requires human interaction to add the necessary reflective component for this design work.
