What Does Agile Education Design Look Like

Drivers of Refinement/Change: • Dynamic clinical area/new data• Evolving outcomes specific to activity

2. Live Symposium Example

Summarize Agile Education Design

1. Measure – the more accessible data, the better

2. Analyze – but only if you are prepared to analyze and interpret these data

3. Adapt – and only if you are able to refine and enhance the activities
