What are Design Principles?
What are Design Principles?
It is a set of guidelines that underpin our work, which defines what a well-designed learning experience is.
We use the design principles to:
generate ideas (as a guide for conceptualization and brainstorming)
build new projects (when creating proposals, project features, we make sure we're checking all boxes)
assess our progress (during the design and implementation phase of a project)
reflect on previous work (as a rubric to evaluate and process our achievements and improvements)
Malinaw / Clear
Malinaw / Clear
Unified. Understandable. Directed. Learning experiences should be easy to understand and follow, leaving minimal space for doubt and confusion. We focus on what is essential without sacrificing nuance.
Kasya Lahat / Inclusive
Kasya Lahat / Inclusive
Accessible. Fair. Universally designed. Learning experiences should respect and take into account the diversity of our learners. We utilize multiple modes, formats, and ways of engagement to reduce barriers to learning.
Makatao / Human
Makatao / Human
Authentic. Participatory. Adaptive. Learning experiences should bring out the creative confidence in our learners. We provide space for our learners to personalize and actualize their learning experience.
Nagsusulong / Inspiring
Nagsusulong / Inspiring
Meaningful. Exciting. Aspirational. Learning experiences should bring out a positive experience in learning. We provide experiences that stick and move our learners to action.
During the design process, we use them to generate ideas and assess our progress. At the end of a project, we go back to these principles to reflect on our work, and harvest insights which can inform future work.
We have four main design principles: Malinaw / Clear, Kasya lahat / Inclusive, Makatao / Human, and Nagsusulong / Inspiring. We described each principle by identifying how it might look like in various elements of learning experiences.

Pick three Habi LXDs. Schedule 15-minute 1-on-1 meetings with each one.
Ask them to share previous or current Habi projects and workshops. Try to get examples of these design principles in action. This is also a great chance to know a bit of Habi history!
Write down some of your notes in your Habi 101 journal.
We actually have Elesi, our own open-source design system for creating learning experiences. Through Elesi, we are able to share our philosophies, resources, and tools for Learning Experience Design. Check it out here.
Now let's align on our projects, which is how we work towards these design principles
