Transition Curves: Mapping Pacing And Sequence In Digital Learning, Seulgi Kim, Zach Pino
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper presents “transition curves,” a framework for analyzing transitions in digital learning environments to support diverse cognitive needs. Transitions—moments of shifting between tasks, contexts, or cognitive states—can significantly impact learning but are often overlooked in digital design, particularly for users with attention, anxiety, memory, and learning differences. Drawing on task switching theory and temporal trajectories, we developed a visualization approach that maps pacing, sequencing, and duration to user experience outcomes. In a workshop with sixteen graduate design students, participants used transition curves to analyze digital learning tools and propose design improvements. The workshop findings show that designers typically see …

Sociology Through/With Design: Embedding Social Justice Into Design Pedagogy, Anqi Rong, Nina Hansopaheluwakan Edward
Learn X Design Conference Series
Today, many design problems involve complex social and political issues; however, design students often struggle to comprehend the intricacies of these challenges and the depth of existing knowledge. Sociology provides foundational principles for understanding and influencing society, including strategies for supporting communities in combating injustice across various domains. Addressing critical, participatory, inclusive, and speculative design by embedding social justice in design pedagogy allows students/designers to better reflect on the ethical and social consequences of perpetuating stereotypes and provides a starting point for addressing social issues that arise from injustice. We propose that there are three main reasons for incorporating social …

This article explores the current state of industrial design in relation to future manufacturing technologies and paradigms. To date, no empirical research has been conducted that specifically examines the role of practising industrial designers in relation to their understanding and preparedness for technologies and systems as part of the next manufacturing revolution—Industry 4.0. As industrial design historically emerged in response to mass production, its continued relevance depends on how the profession evolves alongside technological transformation. We argue that changes in current production influence the development of the design profession and therefore its education. Although new technologies and systems are being …

Stories And Shaping: How Narrative Methods Enhance Decentralized Studio Learning, Andreas Lanig
Learn X Design Conference Series
The author investigates how digital and hybrid design studios reconceptualise distance learning from a decentralised perspective. To achieve this, ten narrative interviews were conducted with students and graduates of DIPLOMA University of Applied Sciences during the winter semester of 2024/25. These interviews were then triangulated with visual artefacts, such as sketches and development diaries. Through thematic and interpretative analysis, the author identifies three core dimensions of transformation (professional, personal/interdisciplinary, and epistemic exchange) and delineates a three-stage hierarchy of reflective learning comprising self-observation, dialogue with peers and tutors, and collective narrative construction. Based on these findings, the author has developed a …

Learn X Design Conference Series
While the disciplinary and substantive bases of urban design have long been debated in academic circles, its institutionalization has rarely been a central area of inquiry. Often addressed as an inter- or multi- disciplinary field, the processes through which urban design has emerged and taken shape in education has yet to be explored. Although the disciplinary trajectories of architecture and urban planning have been examined both independently and in relation to each other, urban design—often marked as a bridge between the two—has attracted comparatively little attention. However, such endeavour is of great significance for understanding the disciplinary grounding of urban …

Contemporary design risks becoming irrelevant or complicit in a technocratic agenda that prioritizes evidence over values unless future designers are trained to critically understand technology and its impacts on social, economic, political, environmental, and psychological structures. What role does design play in this process? What stance will tomorrow’s designer embrace? These questions form the backbone of the Theories and History of Design course at Università Iuav di Venezia, which focused on the transformation of everyday actions mediated by technology. At the sociological level, two perspectives collide: a critical approach that acknowledges risks to individual freedoms and a techno-optimist view that …

Designers for "social good" and "social impact" must critically examine the assumptions and mental models that shape their understanding of the communities they aim to serve. This essay argues that embracing pluralistic, non-fixed conceptions of identity and positionality is crucial for creating truly inclusive and equitable design practices. Through frameworks that deconstruct the idea of fixed identities, designers can surface their unconscious biases and unlearn harmful originating myths about marginalized groups being culturally, socially, cognitively, or physically "deficient." The essay presents flexible positionality matrices that position aspects of identity along spectrums of fixed, fluid, conditional, and temporal states of being. …

This paper explores how design approaches can enhance interdisciplinary research in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Through a review of fourteen recent articles (2019-2024), we analyze challenges, institutional barriers, and existing methods for measuring interdisciplinary research. Our findings reveal that while interdisciplinary research has advanced significantly, it continues to face substantial challenges across cognitive, emotional, and institutional dimensions. The analysis suggests three key areas where design can contribute: fostering collaborative research cultures, developing integrated research methods, and enhancing cross-disciplinary communication. This research identifies critical gaps in current understanding and proposes directions for future investigation, including developing systematic measurement methods and conducting …

From Diamonds To Braids: New Metaphors For Teaching Transformative Design, Melanie Kahl
Learn X Design Conference Series
Drawing from my experience as a hybrid practitioner-educator, this pedagogical statement examines how we teach the invisible dimensions of transformative design. While traditional design process diagrams and metaphors—from squiggles to diamonds—effectively structure design activities, they fall short in teaching students how to facilitate transformative design processes. I propose braiding as a complementary cross-cultural metaphor that illuminates the concurrent processes woven through design work. I define four fundamental strands that expert practitioners weave into complex design processes: learning (growing capacity), narrative (weaving stories), relationships (growing connections and trust), and change (rehearsing transformation). This framework emerged from my practice of teaching students …

Núcleo Adela emerged in Chile in 2024 when a group of designers and educators gathered around a common concern: How can feminist design be practiced and taught in the Global South? This question, which challenged the current design state, marked the beginning of a collective project seeking to define itself and express its vision publicly. The process made us question how we wanted to build our identity, driving us to reflect deeply on who we are and how we represent ourselves. This sparked an exercise in co-designing identity, where poetry and openness became key tools in shaping a sensitive and …

In an era characterised by global interconnectedness and complexity, integrating diverse perspectives through cross-pollinative design processes has become paramount. However, the unidirectional, the ubiquitous One-on-One Master-Apprentice design studio pedagogy has negated the potential of Social Support towards a divergent and explorative design process. This study discussed the impact of social support on academic scores of beginning design students in two district studio pedagogical frameworks: the traditional One-on-One Master-Apprentice model and the experimental Cross-pollinative Team Learning (CTL) studio pedagogy. With a longitudinal quantitative Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) design, participants’ perceptions of Social Support as Teacher-student relationship (TSR) and Student-student relationship (SSR) …

Service Learning Students’ Perceptions Of Citizenship, Audrey Faye Falk
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
This study examines the conceptions of citizenship held by students engaged in a service learning course. Open-ended responses to instructor-developed surveys were analyzed. Results indicated that students primarily viewed good citizenship in terms of community service; however, their ideas about service were limited to passive kinds of service such as helping others and volunteering, rather than active kinds of service such as community organizing. Results were compared with conceptions of citizenship held by students engaged in another course with a smaller volunteering component. Opportunities for broadening service learning students’ understanding of citizenship are discussed.

Engagement Of Community Health Workers In The Research Enterprise: A Survey Of Organizations And The Research Roles Given Chws, Holly C. Felix, Delia Lee, Kathryn Stewart, Paul G. Greene
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
Community health workers (CHWs) have long been engaged by organizations to assist underserved populations with unmet health-related needs. CHWs’ roles in effectively addressing service and health barriers—for example, through navigation and health promotion—are well established. Few published studies address how the skills and roles of CHWs are applied to support research, though similar barriers exist. To address this gap, we surveyed CHW programs about the extent and type of CHW involvement supporting research.
