Six Thinking Hats for Instructional Design
UPSIDE Learning has provided an interesting example of applying the six thinking hats for instructional design (
link). The authors have chosen the following hat sequence: White, Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue.
In this case, a client has given them a course outline to consider under the White hat. Their approach is to initially judge under the Black hat and report their findings. Under the Red hat, a quick "gut check" is conducted. I envision this as a "Go/ No Go" decision point which conceivably is done with the client. This 3-hat sequence is often referred to as a
Risk Assessment hat sequence.
If the client is on board, then a Green/Yellow/Blue
Positive Ideas short hat sequence follows.
