Syndicating The Design Studio: Can a virtual design studio compliment or possibly replace traditional design teaching?

research question

platform

Significant difficulty moving between the two.

Can lead to a disconnection from real world constraintsof form, proportion, material, and scale.

issues/problems

virtual studio

A large amount of verbal feedback/discussion that doesnot get recorded, and is therefore forgotten.

Inefficient model - a lot of repetition.

Expensive model (tutors and space)

issues/problems

traditional studio

Most commonly translated as ‘really simple syndication’but sometimes ‘rich site summary’ is a way to publish frequently updated works – such as blog entries, newsheadlines, audio, and video – in a standardised format.Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicatecontent automatically.

Students are very demanding (technically/design);•Hard to locate stuff•Difficult to upload/adjust images (auto re-size)•‘Feature rich, but cumbersome’•Why be on-site for digital submissions•Need to ‘deliver content’ and allow instant feedback

What I know… We are not going to attempt to builda system when it has already been done far better.

Encouraging comments;•Great to see process•Great to ‘compare’•Feedback and comments from others•Instant portfolio•Forces you to really think about images/words used•More integration between real/virtual ‘the better!’•Great to see previous work•Active designers so use a ‘designed’ system
