Double blended learning for design students & design practitioners

Abstract

This paper presents insights from a new course format, in which design practitioners from all over the world participate online together with master’s design students, who work both online and offline. This case study shows that such a double blended form of education is motivating and successful for both groups. Also, the highly international character of this format benefits the learning content well. The online key-term tool is well received. The interaction between practitioners and students via video conferencing and peer feedback is appreciated from both sides.
