35. ! Define the Experience ! ! Combine your ideas into an visually represented experience. ! what does it look like? what is the story of that experience? ! Learning Experience Framework Learning Objective Learning Outcomes Methods of Exploration Methods of Engagement Learning Environment <spatial and sensory>
