CEP 882 The Nature and Design of Compelling Experiences
Instructor: David Wong
Spring Semester 2010
An important goal of educators is to create compelling learning
experiences for their students. This course teaches one to create
lessons that mean more than catching and holding their attention, more
than eliciting gasps and laughter. The course is about moving the
students to see, feel, and respond in new ways. We all have an
intuitive sense and first hand knowledge of what compelling experiences
are. The purpose of this course is to help one develop a better
understanding of compelling, educative experiences.

This video demonstrates the compelling experience created through the
integration of mathematical concepts and the program Microsoft Paint.
The elements of capturing a good photo are demonstrated in the above video.
