Reaffirming Learning – A Micro Examination of Teaching Interventions and their Connectedness

This case study provides a perspective on engaging postgraduate design students in activities exploring eco-social responsibility in relation to their creative practice. It zooms into the roles and learning impacts of a collaborative online space and series of online discussion sessions, which are situated within wider research trialling a system of teaching interventions that positively disrupt the curriculum, as a mechanism for awakening learning around responsible design. It offers insights and reflection on the teaching and learning system, mapping the interconnectivity of its components whilst synthesising discoveries regarding the roles they play in building connections, reaffirming learning and navigating uncertainty.
