F.A.Q.
What’s the difference between Design Lesson Days and Applied Concept Study?
Design Lesson Days are live virtual (in-real time) which attendees actively participate. A specific design concept that is interwoven in the presentation and discussion to set up the plan.
The Applied Concept Study is an autonomous experiment-to study period which sets a weekly date marker to share out feedback, and submission of design elements connected to their Design Lesson. In our dedicated online space there will be online-prompts to give you opportunities to engage with other cohort members and look more reflectively at your practice and review.
What if I want to register a group or department from my school/organization?
We encourage group registration and would welcome your team/department to join ReImagine Islamic Education Design Lab. For groups of 5 or more the registration process is slightly different and would need to send registration request to TheAlgebraAccelerator@gmail.com with a short description of your group members and organization. We will send a group registration and quote form withing 2-3 business days.
Will I need to attend the session or will it be recorded?
The simple answer is YES. This is designed to have maximum benefit through collaborative exercises, so your attendance is integral. Portions of sessions will be recorded and available for those registered for a limited amount of time.
