Digital Design Thinking and Making (CCME0039)

This module (which is not available to distance learner/online only students) will examine how design thinking can drive the development of novel digital technology that fosters cultural and learning opportunities and practices. The first part of the module will focus on how design thinking can support the development of desirable and feasible technologies for education and learning, and why this approach can transform the ways in which we have traditionally approached digital design within these domains. It will introduce students to the features and methods of the design process and the role of design thinking in mobilising communities of designers, learners and educators. The second part of the module will unpack the design process starting from developing a design concept all the way to digital prototyping. Students will carry out project-based design work during which they will craft their own design questions and employ design methods, toward developing a digital prototype.
