Abstract

Covid 19 Pandemic forced professors and students to deal with new ways of learning, often enhanced by technological solutions. Other than a mere response to the emergency, this pushes to new digital solution turned out to be a big opportunity to discover new learning methods. In this paper we present Kaleidoscope, an innovative educational method based on a multi-dimensional observation of a negotiation simulation. Thanks to the technological solutions, Kaleidoscope gather data on participants’ experience from different sources with the aim of unveiling cognitive, emotional, and relational dynamics that occurs during a negotiation process. The learning purpose is to increase the learners’ awareness on these dimensions by using a live debrief dashboard that shows the relationship between the different variables detected. Today Kaleidoscope has yet to go live in a real classroom, it has only been partially tested in a laboratory context. In this paper we present the learning objectives of this project, the theoretical framework with the dimension considered. Finally, we acknowledge the current limitations of this innovative method and the future steps.
