    Since 2006, some researchers at the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI, Lugano) have been interested in the use of LSP. In particular, two applications of the LSP methodology have been developed:

    URL (User Requirements with Lego), which helps to elicit user requirements for online communication applications.
    LLED (LEGO Learning Design Experience), which helps to design teaching and learning experiences.

    In this webinar the Lego Serious Play is first introduced, in which context and for which aims it could be used. Then, it will mainly focus on LLED, a specific application of LSP, which allows teams to design learning experiences creatively and collaboratively, involving all the stakeholders of the project.

    Organization:

  • Serious Play Pro Website Statistics Serious Play Pro Website Statistics – Number of Annual Visitors July 2013-July 2014Since the introduction of LSP Open Source we are glad to witness that the number of facilitators has grown steadily. The Serious Play Pro community was established just four years ago and today we are a true community which covers all the corners of the globe.

    It is fun to observe that the coverage of the visitors (the table below) is really almost global. See the annual statistics table of the different countries and the annual number of unique visits from that country. All the regions are well represented among the people interested in the Lego Serious Play methodology.

    In average, 66.1 unique visitors come to our site every day nowadays (up from 44.1 visitors/day in 2013 and 35.4 visitors/day in 2012). Given that 2/3 of those visitors are new visitors, it means that any post published are likely read in a month by 2000 different people.

      Perhaps we don’t need a definition, but perhaps defining…[Read more]
