The Signature Features of our Project

In an attempt to provide clarity about what we are doing in this project, we have developed a conjecture map, as seen on the right. This draft conjecture map has been collaboratively developed by the BRIST team to illustrate the signature features of the project, its aims and principal goals.

Conjecture maps (Sandoval, 2014) are a high-potential design tool to enable educational technologists and designers develop an overall, single view (from left to right) of the signature features and foci of an innovation, including: (1) the underlying idea or hypothesis of an innovative design, (2) the principles and main design features of how it will be implemented, (3) how will it be known that the innovation is having impact; and (4) outcomes, particularly the implications for learning and teaching.

Design is a complex activity and conjecture maps potentially help us to maintain a focus on, and highlight the key goals and signature affordances of innovative educational technology designs.
