| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsThe module is designed to help you further explore design research (LO1) and development methods (LO2) through engagement with physical and virtual modelling and prototyping methods (LO3, 4). You will use materials and fabrication methods in the design workshop (LO4) and apply a user centred feedback for evaluation (LO5). Each taught input uses a wide variety of audio-visual resources, group discussion and activity to foster group engagement in a studio environment. We will also ask you to undertake peer reviews to develop your self reflective and critical skills. Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsThroughout the module projects and tasks are explained and put into context of how and why they are used in industry. In addition Critical appraisal and reflection are also required at every assessment stage. You are asked to present and evaluate arguments, information and ideas which are core to the discipline of design.Assessment (formative and summative)You will undertake two studio design projects requiring the submission of a design development folio including visual and contextual research data (LO1) sketch books and sketch models (LO2, 3), scale models and prototypes (LO4) used to collect and present user centred feedback (LO5). Formative assessment will precede the submission and/or presentation of completed design assignments. Regular feedback will be given to develop your confidence and allow practise of public speaking and voicing opinions. You will be asked to present your directed study tasks. Summative assessment is made of submitted design work during assessment critiques.Research/ teaching linkagesAll teaching team members undertake scholarly activity with design projects and organisations allowing currency and credibility of input. The module establishes links between Edinburgh Napier’s research and teaching and students engage with design for various social/c
