A Day in the life of a Student workshop is a design-thinking activity developed the DLR Group, an integrated design firm with offices across the globe, and adapted by the Innovative Learning Environment and Teacher Change project at the University of Melbourne, Australia. It involves educators creating a ‘map’ of how one student spends his/her day in school and a model of the learning environment based on a persona of that student. The workshop ends with a discussion of the ‘shape’ and affordances of the learning environment that impact students’ learning and experience.
