Research paper thumbnail of Engaging Qualities: factors affecting learner attention in online design studios

DRS2018: Catalyst, 2018

The work uploaded to an Online Design Studio by students across a Design and Innovation Qualification was rated and analysed quantitatively using the Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT). Correlations of qualities to comments made on this content were considered and a qualitative analysis of the comments was carried out. It was observed that design students do not necessarily pay attention to the same qualities in learner-generated content that experts rate highly, except for a particular quality at the first level of study. The content that students do engage with also changes with increasing levels of study. These findings have implications for the learning design of online design courses and qualifications as well as for design institutions seeking to supplement proximate design studios wi...

With the collaboration of academics from Mexico and the United Kingdom, the project in progress has aimed to build hyperlocal and creative learning networks under a socio-constructivist and grounded approach that could empower individuals (children, parents and general community) and nurture makerspace characteristics at home during lockdown. The project established a hyperlocal learning network in La Campana-Altamira with 11 families, using a combination of craft kits and low-cost digital networks to enable making, reflecting, and sharing in the neighbourhood while schools and makerspaces were closed. This paper presents initial findings of the research process and seeks to open a debate on in...

Initially, the studio environment was seen as a collaborative environment in which students follow the work of their peers’ through formal presentations, critiques and informal conversations. In the recent past, research on design studios has lost sight of the social component in studio education in favour of concentrating on the tutor-students relationship. As the delivery of design education has moved into online environments, scholars have begun to recognise that social engagement with peers may be of a greater importance to students’ design learning than previously acknowledged. This paper explores the gap in our understanding of engagement and interaction by analysing quantitative and qualitative data from 317 students who were studying an online module in design thinking. The module facilitates learning akin to the design studio experience. An online environment allows stude...

Research paper thumbnail of A longitudinal study of virtual design studio (VDS) use in STEM distance design education

This paper presents a longitudinal, large-scale study (3 years, 3000 students) of student behaviour in an online design studio used as part of a distance learning Design and Innovation qualification, within the School of Engineering and Innovation at The Open University (UK). The sample size and time period of the study is unprecedented and provides unique insights into student behaviours. Moderate correlations between overall VDS use and student success were identified in early stages of study but were weaker in later stages. Detailed results identify specific behaviour correlations, such as ‘listening-in’ (viewing other students’ work) and student success, as well as behaviour shifts from ‘passive’ to ‘active’ engagement. Strong intrinsic motivations for engagement were observed throughout and selected social ...

Initially, the studio environment was seen as a collaborative environment in which students follow the work of their peers’ through formal presentations, critiques and informal conversations. In the recent past, research on design studios has lost sight of the social component in studio education in favour of concentrating on the tutor@students relationship. As the delivery of design education has moved into online environments, scholars have begun to recognise that social engagement with peers may be of a greater importance to students’ design learning than previously acknowledged. This paper explores the gap in our understanding of engagement and interaction by analysing quantitative and qualitative data from 317 students who were studying an online module in design thinking. The module facilitates learning akin to the design studio experience. An online environment allows students to share and discuss design work, asynchronously, with peers at a distance. The results of the analysis show a correlation between engagement and students success, and further analysis of the kinds of interactions suggest six themes of social engagement that have a positive effect on students’ outcomes. These findings add to our understanding of successful online design pedagogies.

Prescriptive stage models have been found insufficient to describe the dynamic aspects of designi... more Prescriptive stage models have been found insufficient to describe the dynamic
aspects of designing, especially in interdisciplinary e-learning design teams. There is a
growing need for a systematic empirical analysis of team design processes that offer deeper
and more detailed insights into instructional design (ID) than general models can offer. In
this paper we present findings from two case studies of team design meetings involved in
the development of fully online courses at two well-established European Distance Universities.
We applied an activity-based approach to an extended verbal protocol dataset.
This method proved to be adequate to describe the emerging team design process by taking
into account both cognitive and social aspects of team activity in this specific context. Our
findings provide evidence that design is more than problem solving, mainly because the
design process is strongly related to the communication process in a team. Some useful
patterns of designing emerge, which shed light on the still implicit nature of ID performed
by teams. We conclude by presenting guidelines for team designing in the complex field of
e-learning.

collaborative learning environments. In this context, design patterns are referred to
as structured descriptions of best practice with pre-defined sections such as problem,
solution and consequences. We pay special attention to how the scope of a design pattern is
identified and articulated. Based on a review of the seminal design patterns literature and
current practice in the area of learning design, the lack of a more specific process
description for developing patterns with international scope is identified. The paper suggests
a process model for developing patterns with international scope. This model is
exemplified in a case study that links the analysis of observation in international learning
environments to the articulation of design patterns by identifying culturally independent
core values that constitute the foundations of a design pattern with international scope.
These core values are linked to recurrent learning behaviors and specific artefacts that
support learning in the articulation of a design pattern. The findings contribute to gaining a
deeper understanding of
