Co-Design Methodology
A faculty-led process that keeps pedagogical expertise in control of the platform, from futures workshops through sprint review and AI validation.
Emancipatory Co-Design
Top-down technology interventions frequently produce stigmatizing solutions because they exclude the faculty from governance. CBC-Logic Studio prevents algorithmic bias and infrastructural imposition through an emancipatory co-design methodology where academic staff hold absolute epistemic authority over the design process, dictating features and evaluating software sprints to ensure the platform is culturally safe, practically viable, and genuinely user-centric.
Co-Design Principles
The Foundation of Our Approach
Epistemic Authority
Academic staff hold absolute authority over the design process. Their pedagogical knowledge dictates the platform's logic, never the other way around.
Participatory Governance
Faculty members are co-creators, not passive consumers. They participate in every stage from curriculum auditing to AI validation.
Epistemic Justice
Prevents the structural injustice where faculty knowledge is bypassed by imposing generic software that ignores local pedagogical realities.
The Co-Design Process
How We Build Together
Futures-Literacy Workshops
We conduct participatory workshops utilizing speculative design to establish pedagogical constraints collaboratively before any code is deployed.
Extracting Static Syllabi
We extract existing static syllabus documents to build a baseline structured curriculum dataset, mapping theoretical knowledge to observable professional skills.
Mapping Logic to Database
The localized curriculum corpus is mapped into the relational competency database, allowing faculty to codify precise relationships between learning outcomes and authentic assessments completely offline.
Co-Evaluation Workshops
The automated intelligence engine is integrated under strict computational benchmarks, followed by co-evaluation workshops where academic staff audit generated rubrics for safety and accuracy.
Join the Co-Design Workshops
We invite academic staff, curriculum administrators, and students to participate in our co-design workshops. Your voice matters in shaping the future of competency-based education at Makerere University.
