Atelier-D Achieving Transformation, Enhanced Learning and Innovation through Educational Resources in Design Sustainability and Embedding
1 Social Networking of Design Learners ~ Facebook 2 Mapping of Design Thinking and Practice ~ Compendium 3 Conferencing to Support Collaborative Work ~ Elluminate 4 Collaborative Design in a Virtual Environment ~ Second Life 5 Peer-2-Peer Assessment ~ Flickr 6 Using an Online Design Studio Environment ~ OpenDesignStudio Completed Six Course Delivery Innovations (CDIs) ~ Year One ProjectUpdate
Three Program Delivery Innovations (PDIs) ~ Year Two 1 PDI One: Community of Online Designers ~ OpenDesignStudio • Currently being rolled out within the new Level 1 course: U101: Design Thinking • First presentation Feb 2010 • 350 design students • Improved engagement • Embedded within the course Project Status
Program Delivery Innovations (PDIs) ~ Year Two 2 PDI Two: Knowledge and Resource Sharing for Tutors ~ GoogleWave • Evaluating the requirement for an online knowledge sharing resource: • Exploring Googlewave • inclusive: aimed at all course tutors • Sharing resources, ideas & experiences • Collaborative building of environment • Closed discussion areas Project Status
Program Delivery Innovations (PDIs) ~ Year Two 3 PDI Three: Cross-Programme Network ~ desigNing • Create an online community for all design students across all programmes: • Exploring Ning • Began in February 2010 • Over 100 members • Dynamic and interactive • Simulates a ‘Social Space’ similar to the ‘café’ or ‘corridor’ interactions that happen within a traditional atelier. Project Status
Application of OpenDesignStudio (ODS) within U101: Design Thinking plus other core design courses -T211: Design and Designing and T307: Innovation: Design for a Sustainable Future. Possible application of Atelier-D work in non-design OU Courses? Major opportunities for ODS, Elluminate, Ning, Compendium. • Application of tools and learning in other universities: • ODS trial with a selected university to support face-to-face design education. • European funding bid: Language learning in architectural education (ODS, SecondLife). • Creating a social community of design learners and educators: • Social networking (Ning) providing a fun, interactive space. • Community resource for tutors and staff. • Extending life of Atelier-D through ‘Open Educational Resources’. • Acquiring and assimilating information, sharing, solving, prototyping, evaluating.
