Mobile Museum Communication Design And New Literacies, Dagny Stuedahl, Sarah Lowe
Learn X Design Conference Series
The relationship of technology to museum practices is a field that continues to evolve; acknowledging the potential for generating innovative engagement with museum visitors. Engagements that will require understandings on the part of museum communication that include: content travelling across contexts, iterative participatory methods suitable for mobile social media participation, and sustainability of the media involved. In this paper we demonstrate how the use of a small-scale prototype experiment is used as the basis for generating methods in which design thinking and cultural investigation can contribute to understanding emerging literacies for museum communication design. As a team of researchers making …

This paper presents an Australian case study entitled “Designing Futures”. It examines a six month multidisciplinary design program offered by a large coeducational, inner-city state school in Queensland in 2011. The program extended an already successful and innovative school-based design curriculum and involved students in Philosophy, Science, Mathematics and English classes, as well those in Art and Design. Additionally, there were 5 full-day workshops where students combined a wide range of skills to brainstorm, design and create sustainable solutions. The design thinking used in this program was based on the concepts of metadesign, design activism and design futuring. “Designing Futures” …

This paper is centred on the progressive curriculum and sustained positive impact of the Rabbit Hole – the University of Western Sydney's Bachelor of Design teaching studio. The award-winning Rabbit Hole is a unique learning environment, incorporating participatory design methods and a work integrated learning framework that facilitates situated learning experiences, where live projects with realworld outcomes bridge the gap between academia, community and industry. Through a series of case studies, this paper demonstrates how the Rabbit Hole utilises the transformative agency of its innovative design pedagogy to inspire and empower socially responsible emergent designers.
