Abstract
Fashion Design Program students take some courses specified and directed to qualify students’ skills of designing fashion, for instance Fashion Design Sketches. Others are indirect courses for learning some knowledge and skills which relate to designing the fashion, such as Fabrics Dyeing. Through observing and investigating, and within the experience of teaching Fabric Dyeing at University of Nizwa 2020 fall semester and 2021 fall semester/ through e-learning in pandemic time, the researcher found that the objectives concentrated on teaching the methods and the procedures of dyeing, theoretically and practically. The objective of employing and using dyed fabrics in the field of designing fashion is not included in the course, adding this objective and this lesson unleashes and liberates creativity thinking and opens the gate of producing unprecedented fashion. Distance learning opens a new opportunity for the students to enhance critical thinking through sharing their applications within MLS -management learning system, Moodle in the current study. A descriptive approach had been followed, through three scales to measure: students’ satisfaction rating scale of the current course; opinion scale of the proposed designs using the dyed fabrics; and opinion scale of students’ attitude toward the proposed lesson. The results indicate the actual need for advancing the course and adding the proposed lesson (fashion applications using dyed fabrics). The proposed lesson enhances the mental abilities of student and rising design sense of them as fashion designers. The lesson also has high potential for development through e-learning.
