Department
Credits 3
Instructional Method
Academic Level
How can students, teachers, friends and classmates play and learn together when they must be apart? How can we rethink the way technology and communication tools are used for childhood education? Can emerging technologies and experiences better facilitate human connection, opportunity for play, and spontaneous social interaction when teachers, students, and their friends and classmates are working apart from each other? In this Designmatters TDS studio, we will re-imagine remote and connected learning for primary school students while considering the needs of children, teachers, and parents & caregivers. We will identify and create exciting new ways of teaching and learning that build a sense of creativity, community and collaboration between teachers, students, and peers.
