  • The Current Evolution of Art and Design Education 

New demands on students require innovative approaches targeted towards the challenges they will face outside of the classroom. Students are now taking their lessons from the classroom and applying them in more entrepreneurial and adaptive ways than ever before. Experiential education and a range of newlearning programs are providing students with the skills to adapt to rapidly changing job environments and expectations in design. Schools must continue offering deepened and wider technical experiences providing the spaces and materials for experimentation for ever more talented students and faculty. 

 

  • Supporting a New Generation of Students: Student Learning in the 21st Century

Students and the educational systems are moving at breakneck pace to integrate with our rapidly changing world. Student learning in the 21st century suggest momentous changes for teaching and learning. For faculty who wish to produce students who are successful and ready for the dynamic challenges ahead, educators must guide students on their personal educational journeys, promote critical thinking, and support dynamic skill and interdisciplinary learning.

Thanks to Jasonpaul and translator WenXia. The five-day study broadened my horizons and allowed me to see the entire process of design teaching from theory to practice, how to motivate students in the course, and how to guide students to discover the fun of design. I learned a lot! Thank you!
