How long has it been since you last played with LEGO® bricks? What if I told you that we could use the famous colorful LEGO® bricks for training or for team building activities: Would you believe it? The outcome may surprise you!
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) is a methodology used to facilitate workshops, where participants complete the tasks assigned to them by building symbolic and metaphorical models with LEGO® bricks.
In this workshop we will present this methodology, by focusing on some specific applications developed at USI in the fields of online communication and education. As a matter of fact, USI has been using this methodology since 2006 and has developed two LSP applications, one to be used in the design of online communication activities (URL - User Requirements with Lego), the other for designing training activities (LLED - LEGO Learning Experience Design).
The workshop will start with a brief introduction about the core of the methodology and the concept of "hand knowledge". Then, practical examples of how LSP is being used by eLab in educational contexts will be given. Finally, there will be time for a discussion with the participants.
