Guidelines for Group Assignment
Building relationships and gathering threads for a common need
(an interactive session with participants)
Participants are divided into 3 groups, and each group is expected to work on their respective assignment (below)
Group themes:
Group 1: Global South (e.g. Tanzania);
Group 2: Global North (e.g., Arctic)
Group 3: Small islands and developing states
Guidelines: This activity aims to formulate guidelines aimed at expanding and strengthening adults' knowledge through activities (e.g., learning toolkits) based on the presentation you heard this morning. The goal is to identify the gaps in Ocean literacy. What the adults should know, and what they do not know. We protect the Ocean if we know what we need to protect (ranging from biota, water quality, and seafloor integrity to human populations and infrastructural components.…). Some examples of activities can be:
Things to remember...
Identify the audience and learning goals
Select relevant content e.g., curate or develop content that aligns with the learning goals
Promote Interactivity e.g., engage learners with interactive elements such as quizzes, discussions, group activities, and simulations
Provide Application Opportunities e.g., practical exercises, case studies, and real-world scenarios that encourage learners to use the knowledge and skills they've gained
Consider the possibility of testing and iterating e.g., you can decide to develop a pilot toolkit applied to a small group of adult learners and gather feedback. Use this feedback to improve, refine the content, and address any usability issues
Leave no one behind e.g., efforts should be made to create resources that are inclusive and accessible to individuals with special needs. This means designing materials, content, or services in a manner that removes barriers and accommodates a wide range of abilities.
