• New demands from students
• Variety in backgrounds
• New literacies in ICT
• Institutional pressures
• Employment
• flexibility in study style• part-time study
• age, abilities, needs, language
• expectations• online communities
• costs of space and staffing

CDI 1: Social Networking of design learners (Facebook) Leader: Nicole Schadewitz
Core issue How to create a social environment that:- enables students to observe what other students are doing and learn from each other- enables students to feel that they belong to a community
ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of social networking websites (Facebook) in the formation of a community of learners

Evaluation based on questionnaires and direct observations
What was the effect of the FB group in the learning experience of students?
What was the effect of the different FB activities in students’ learning?
What aspects of FB were most useful?
Did the FB group lead to the formation of a community of learners? Of what type?

CDI 2: Mapping of Design Thinking (Compendium)
Leader: Emma Dewberry (cover provided by Giselle Ferreira and Theo Zamenopoulos)
Core issueHow we support students to develop their competence and confidence in:- Communicating their ideas and projects- Structuring their thinking process
ObjectiveTo investigate how distance design education can offer alternative ways to support learning, based on how learners map their ideas, research, thoughts and designs
12ATELIER-D Achieving Transformation, Enhanced Learning and Innovation through Educational Resources in Design
The task 26 Volunteers from the T307 Course Innovation were asked to use compendium in the development and presentation of their TMA 01 (Part 2)
CDI 2: Mapping of Design Thinking (Compendium)
13ATELIER-D Achieving Transformation, Enhanced Learning and Innovation through Educational Resources in Design
CDI 2: Mapping of Design Thinking (Compendium)
Evaluation based on questionnaires and analysis of the produced maps
What was the knowledge mapping process? (e.g. Did students use paper to sketch their map before drawing it on compendium?)
What was the function of the produced maps? (e.g. to communicate ideas, to support students’ thinking process, to record information)
What was the effect of the use of compendium in the learning experience of the students?

CDI 3: Virtual environments for collaborative work(Second life)
Leader: Steve Garner
Core issue How to create virtual environments that facilitate:- learning through design and making (reflective learning)- learning as part of a team (social learning)
ObjectiveTo investigate how virtual environments (second life) can offer alternative ways for supporting reflective and social learning in design
15ATELIER-D Achieving Transformation, Enhanced Learning and Innovation through Educational Resources in Design
CDI 3: Virtual environments for collaborative work(Second life)
The task Volunteers from the T211 Course will be asked to design a chair in second life (as individuals and in a group)

CDI 4: Multi-media communication tools (FlashMeeting)
Leader: Georgy Holden
Core issue How to take advantage of the possibilities that arise with new ICT for creating face-to-face meetings and sharing applications.
ObjectiveTo investigate the use and effect of video/audio communication tools in delivering design courses
17ATELIER-D Achieving Transformation, Enhanced Learning and Innovation through Educational Resources in Design
CDI 4: Multi-media communication tools (FlashMeeting)
The task Volunteers from the T307 Course will be asked to follow some tutorials in FlashMeeting

CDI 5: Peer-to-Peer assessment (WebPA)
Leader: Theodore Zamenopoulos
Core issue How assessment can be integral part of the learning experience of the students
ObjectiveHow can new ICT create an educational environment that facilitates active modes of assessment and therefore peer-to-peer learning?
19ATELIER-D Achieving Transformation, Enhanced Learning and Innovation through Educational Resources in Design
CDI 5: Peer-to-Peer assessment (WebPA)
The task
Volunteers from the T187 Course will be asked to discuss with their tutor the evaluation criteria of their TMA and evaluate each others work by using WebPA.
