Discovery Education webinar for a deeper dive into 'WHY' (begins just after the 9:30 mark) found at https://vimeo.com/271712528 

This blogger suggests working from “generative writing to clarifying and naming essential messages or statements about knowing, learning, and thinking”.
“When students know their ‘why’ they are empowered to make big life choices. … If you are very clear about your ‘why’ … it … gives you the courage … to fight through when sometimes it can be very easy to give up. This is because you’re seeing the bigger picture.”
For the instructional designers in our groupThis writer's advice is to begin the collaborative process by determining the ‘WHYs’ of clients or colleagues and their learners. He poses 3 useful questions: “Why do you want to design this course? What is the goal of this course? Who is the learner?”
