Dr. Juan Sanin, Industrial Design
Architecture & Design
Juan Sanin is lecturer in Industrial Design and co-researcher in the LTIF ‘I Love Blended Learning’. In this talk he will present some initial insights derived from this project, and will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities that these insights represent for the future of design education.
These lectures are part of the LTIF Project ‘I Love Blended Learning’. This project examines current practices of blended learning in design education, and in particular, how teachers and students utilise Learning Management Systems, Social Networking Sites and productivity apps as part of their learning and teaching activities. The project will deliver a series of strategies for enhancing and extending blended learning across design programs at RMIT.
‘Incite/Insight’ is a new learning and teaching forum for disseminating good practice, enabling scholarly conversation and sparking ideas. The forum targets VE and HE teaching staff and focuses on inspiring teaching. It will follow an action learning format of planning, action and reflection, which invites a commitment from attendees to experiment with ideas and apply their learning to their own teaching practice.
This project has been supported by funding from Learning and Teaching Investment Fund (LTIF).
