Design Studio I

1 or 2 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Design Studio I introduces LDT students to practicing and learning in a studio environment. Students are introduced to design thinking and service design basics (process, methods, mindset) and given time to apply what they are learning to LDT coursework, portfolio development, or other projects during Studio sessions. Students learn how to be a good studiomates: critiquing with love, showing up completely, asking for help, caring for studiomates, and building learning design practitioner habits. Through Studio, students ask themselves: Who am I as a learning designer? How do I incorporate design thinking and service design into my practice? What does it mean to practice together? What does it mean for me to think, act and serve as a learning design practitioner?
