Session Description

Free ticketed event
This workshop engages with the question: How can we help students more intentionally engage in a design process, so as to help them become reflective practitioners of design? On a theoretical level, this work connects to the diversity of design processes and research on metacognition. This workshop also builds on prior research on helping students to become more meta-cognitively aware of their current state in a design process. In this interactive 2.5-hour workshop, participants will learn how to build self-awareness for their students and themselves through self-tracked design timelines (that we are calling Design Signatures). With these design signatures visible in front of them, students and faculty can better reflect on an otherwise invisible design process. The workshop facilitators have extensive experience implementing these concepts in their design teaching. Students are excited about what they are able to learn, as demonstrated by the following quotes.
