Design for informational quality on social media platforms - Teacher version

This exercise uses a value-sensitive design approach towards redesigning social media platforms from spaces of entertainment to spaces of epistemic engagement with information in fruitful manner. The exercise introduces students to the idea of informational quality, elaborates on the parameters to look for in the design of existing platforms and then stimulates the reflection and imagination by asking students to redesign some features of these platforms in view of making the platforms truth-conducive and knowledge-building.

Design for critical reflection on Social Media Platforms

This exercise uses a value-sensitive design approach towards redesigning social media platforms for a different purpose: from being predominantly spaces of entertainment, social media platforms can become spaces of epistemic engagement with information in a fruitful manner by fostering the user’s critical reflection in engaging with information found on social media. The exercise challenges students to redesign user interactions on social media platforms in such a way that explicitly fosters reflective thinking for users about the information that they find online. Note: this exercise can be used in a suite of exercises on social media platform design, together with the Fake news exercise and the Design for information quality exercise.

Computational design for (industrial) designers using Rhino Grasshopper

This interactive textbook provides an educational resource into computational design for (industrial) designers. The book focusses on the use of computational design of products/artifacts at a human scale, which might be contrasted by the architectural/build environment scale – a domain which also extensively utilizes computational design principles and tools. Throughout the book, we make use of (commercial) computer-aided-design software, namely Rhinoceros®, and specifically the (build-in) module Grasshopper®. The lessons and knowledge base offered in this book focus on topics that are specifically relevant for and/or attuned to product design (scale), which are categorized in relation to its goal (e.g. design for personalized fit/comfort/aesthetics), by its means (e.g. design for digital fabrication), or for its role in the design process (e.g. for design exploration or design simulation). The book is intended for students both at bachelor and master level. As we believe in a learning-by-doing approach, we aimed for a hands-on, easy-to-get-started set of introductory lessons, which is complemented with a knowledge base. The introductory lessons do not assume any specific prior skills or knowledge (in general or with Rhino Grasshopper) to get started. Yet, (some) experience with computer-aided design (CAD), programming, data processing, and/or mathematics will likely be helpful to really delve into the more complex topics, such as those covered in the knowledge base. The book is currently used as course material in two courses taught at Industrial Design Engineering: “Prototyping with/for Digital Fabrication” (BSc level, part of the Minor Advanced Prototyping), and “Computational design for Digital Fabrication” (MSc level, Elective). The content in this book is in part based on course materials from the above-mentioned courses, which have been been taught to and applied by students with diverse (technical) backgrounds (e.g. industrial design, mechanical engineering, computer science, and electrical engineering). Other parts of the book are inspired by student (graduation) projects and/or follow from research activities by the various contributing authors.

Hoorcollege afstuderen week 2: Ethische aspecten

Dit hoorcollege is één van een serie hoor- en werkcolleges. De afstudeerfase van de hbov in Rotterdam bestaat uit 10EC. Studenten kunnen kiezen uit drie varianten; analyse complexe zorgsituatie, praktijkonderzoek en literatuurstudie. Gedurende 17 weken (één semester) krijgen de studenten 1 hoorcollege per week, gevolgd door 2 werkcolleges. De hoorcolleges (zoals die hieronder te vinden zijn) geven de student inzicht in methoden en technieken van onderzoek, maar ook in verdiepende colleges en schrijfvaardigheden.

Navigating the Landscape of Blended Higher Education

In recent years, blended teaching formats have become increasingly important in higher education. Designing effective blended education is challenging and requires a profound knowledge of digital tools and technologies, as well as the didactical proficiency to deploy them effectively and efficiently within the learning environment. However, little is known about didactical design principles to support teachers in creating an effective blended design. This chapter reports on the combined results of two independently conducted extensive literature reviews that investigated (a) didactical strategies, methods, and techniques concerning online education in the existing empirical research on higher education, and (b) the effects of different blended teaching formats, compared to face-to-face education, on learning outcomes and/or psychosocial outcomes in higher education students. It was found that blended education can enhance student achievement and psychosocial well-being, yet that the instructional approach plays a crucial role. Combining the insights of both studies has subsequently led to a series of evidence-informed recommendations to design effective blended education with a view to the broad development of students. Readers will be provided with practical guidance on how to implement these design principles in educational practice.
