This paper outlines an approach taken to re-establish the status, significance and implementation of the design history component of a practice-based undergraduate design course in China. The format for delivery and assessment were found to have stagnated into a curriculum module widely regarded as of peripheral interest. A project was undertaken to revise not only the scope of teaching material so that it was more appropriate for remote learning, but also the mode of assessment. The traditional lecture format was replaced in part by an online course, augmented by widely available video and texts. In-person teaching was switched to seminar …

Design and making activities also offer opportunities for students from different disciplines to gather around central topics and engage in interdisciplinary discussions about matters that concern everyone and to materialize their understanding while reflecting on their personal process. In this paper, we present a course design …

The workshop will draw on the personal experiences of participants and collectively analyse the knowledge generated from interaction. Drawing on these experiences (with clients, users, communities, etc), the workshop looks to identify the impact and value of these experiences as well as ways they can be integrated into design practice; with a focus on improving the holistic development of a student who is both citizen and changemaker . This workshop will utilise two public links from …
