Abstract
Online education presents major logistical challenges for design educators, and it also demands radical changes in the way that we teach. However, technology-enabled learning has tremendous potential which can make us rethink our education paradigm, expand the impact of what we do as educators, improve learning outcomes, and help students learn in new ways. This paper considers the core principles of Synchronous and Collaborative Remote Experiential Learning (SC·REL™) pedagogy developed by award-winning professors, C.J. Yeh and Christie Shin. The goal of this new pedagogy focuses on providing a hands-on learning experience that simulates the workflow of online collaboration and global teamwork. Unlike traditional distance and online learning models, SC·REL™ enables real-time interactions between faculty, students, and industry professionals which enables in-depth discussions and the exchange of ideas to maximize learning experiences and results. The authors share insights and results from the case studies. It is meant to serve as a starting point for further discoveries as well as to inspire more conversations on how we can change the way we teach and foster innovation.
