The Hive Interoperability & Portability Coalition (HIPC) has established a Community of Practice (CoP) to advance Openness and related concepts (such as Transparency, Agency, and Portability) in the design of learning environments and technology solutions. This workshop will emulate the CoP with hands-on games, conversations, and collaborative discovery. We’ll explore Openness in the contexts of learning design, game play and the design of technology.
HIPC is a partnership between the Adler Planetarium, Forall Systems, and Ci3’s GameChanger Chicago together with Mumkin Studio and other members of the Hive Chicago Learning Network. Over the course of the past funding cycle, the HIPC partners organized six workshops for learning program providers in Chicago that explored openness as an approach to creating learning opportunities for teens. The workshops emphasized fun, game-based activities that straddle digital and analog frameworks for shared understanding and co-design.
