![]() ![]() I guess I was approaching this course too much from a university point of view. What were the most unexpected things on this journey? I believe that I learned most on the second but also a lot on the third level. The learning took place on three levels: The content level (here: tech ethics, ethics-by-design, ethical implications of innovation efforts), the performative level (the teamwork, collaborating with strangers, identifying shared values and act according to them), and the conceptual level (course design, challenge-based learning, tools for course instruction and technical facilitation). They actually did so every week, but so far, I didn’t address them particularly. The light keepers ask the following six questions as reflection prompts at the end of the mural board of week 5. At the end, the course instructors thanked us for our participation and explained what will happen next, and we thanked the course instructors for preparing and providing an outstanding and appealing course. Moreover, we were asked to indicate our feelings at each of the five weeks by placing telling images. We placed emojis on the expectations we wrote down in week 1, indicating whether we feel like they were fulfilled, disappointed, greatly exceeded, or any feeling we have about them. The last hour was dedicated to providing some feedback on the course experience. If there was a ‘next time’, I would encourage my crew mates to meet informally after the first session in order to get to know each other better, build trust, and understand with what kind of ‘baggage’ people say what they say and do what they do. I definitely learned to pay more attention to my listening ability when it comes to collaborating with people with very different backgrounds and narratives. It was the team with its shared values that brought us forward, and it was the team with its diversity leading to progress that made us feel comfortable, but it was also the team dynamics and the loss of a team member that slowed us down. Most of our reflections revolved around the team (the crew) itself. This exercise made us discuss a lot in the provided 30 minutes, but we didn’t write all of it on stickies. ![]() At the Temple of Reflections, we wrote what we learned and what we would do different next time. The anchor is the place to reflect on what slowed us down. ![]() The sun stands for the question what made us feel good during our collaboration. On the mural board it looked like this, but, sorry, you can’t read anything of what we wrote there.Īround the cloud (‘Wind’), we collected what brought our crew forward. In the second hour, we used a sailboat retrospective method-a great fit with the journey metaphor of the course-to reflect on our experiences. And, yes, we still want canoes to deliver it, with competent and impactful people from academia, industry, and governance in them! As an update, I tried to rewrite the rather vague solution statement ( ‘Ethics-by-design-thinking’ as a methodological framework or tool(kit)) and make it more concrete: Develop and provide a theoretically well-grounded toolkit modifying the design thinking approach as it is employed in innovation in a way that it systematically considers ethical implications. Other comments kept us thinking, yet, none of the criticism was strong and convincing enough to make us change our overall idea. Some of the comments we dismissed since they were certainly based on a wrong understanding of what we were proposing, or a lack of knowledge about details. In the first hour of the live session, we (crew-internally) went through the feedback we received from other crews on the evaluation sheet. Since the pilot is now finished, I will also reflect on the course as a whole, not only that last live session. This is my journal diary entry of the last week of the Tethix course.
