Designing Learning Tools: Introduction

This lecture covers the introduction to the course 'How People Learn: Designing Learning Tools' at EPFL. The instructors, Nihat Kotluk and Roland Tormey, focus on emotions, diversity, and interactive teaching in engineering education. They delve into engineering ethics education, moral decision-making, and equality issues. The lecture discusses a study on how compassion-induced engineering ethics cases affect students' moral reasoning. It also explores educating engineering students to address bias and discrimination within project teams. The session includes group discussions and learning outcomes related to factors influencing learning in science and engineering.
