Abstract

Democratisation of technology has changed how design is practiced, produced, 'made', accessed, traded, taught, and learned. Crowdsourcing platforms tap into the creative domains of designers and have changed how business is conducted. Collaborative practices and the rise of the citizen designer are shifting the role of the designer in the creation process. At the same time, the culture of design learning is changing. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offer free education to everyone. First trials of translating design education's signature pedagogies into the MOOC environment started. With significant changes challenging the traditional design demographic, and how design is taught and learned, how can we educate the next generation designer? This paper provides some insight by presenting an international view from both design educators, and program leaders, on the future of design education.
