Remote design thinking. Dynamics and perspectives of the transformation in the online didactics and project

ABSTRACT

The non-Transitory side effects derived from the spread of COVID-19, which have suddenly silenced and emptied schools and universities while activating new didactic forms , lead us to a reflection on the value of the e-learning teaching project in design schools and its possible repositioning towards the discipline. Taking inspiration from the recent modalities of distance learning, which were experimented during the compulsory lockdown and isolation caused by the spread of the virus, this contribution means to reflect on those online teaching procedures that have been used in the domain of design. These refer to some pedagogic experiences for the diffusion of knowledge developed in Italy since the 60s, on media of communication such as the radio and the television. They could become an operational procedure with the ability to influence the new way of conceiving both the teaching and the idea itself of the design project soon. © HEAd 2022. All Rights Reserved.
