These effects confirm our own experiences teaching in the learning by design approach—the initial discomfort with the approach gradually is replaced with a feeling of deep accomplishment, and a recognition that working collaboratively on ill-defined problems is a legitimate (and rewarding) way to engage learning about (and with) technology. It is interesting to note that the growing familiarity and experience with the design approach leads to a more favorable engagement with course readings and discussions. It is also worth noting, that participants’ perception of the work they do independently does not significantly change with experience in the approach. The same student who noted the “undefined” work the group was doing earlier by week 13 noted: “I started out doing everything for the group and it got very taxing on me....What I learned was that I didn’t need to do that, and that I could actually focus on the pedagogical issues that I wanted to and get a really fulfilling experience.”
