Abstract
If learning from failure is intuitively compelling, why do we wait for it to happen. Why don’t we intentionally design for it, and harness it for deep learning? In my talk, I will describe what Productive Failure is, how, when and why intentionally designing for failure in a safe way can lead to deep learning, and its implications for how we can design powerful learning environments for developing conceptual understanding, creativity, and transfer.

Abstract
In this workshop, I will outline principles that go into the design of tasks, participation structures, and social surround necessary to implement Productive Failure. Participants will undergo a cycle of PF themselves to induct principles of PF from given cases, followed by a consolidation of the key design feature. In the second half, participants will work in groups to design a PF unit in their domains.
