Abstract: | The purpose of this study is to investigate student attitudes towards and perceptions of using the Internet and information
technology to mediate a design studio course and to propose guidelines and suggestions for developing Internet-mediated design
studio courses. Two classes of third-year undergraduate industrial design students in two collaborating universities in Taiwan—Chang
Gung University and National Yunlin University of Science and Technology—participated in an experimental design studio course
mediated with an online design learning environment. Surveys and focus group interviews were conducted at the end of the course
to record students’ attitudes and perceptions. The students thought that the approach used had a positive influence on design
teaching and learning and expressed acceptance of using the Internet to support design education. Finally, suggestions were
proposed to help design educators in adopting, modifying, and developing systems for using the Internet to mediate design
studio courses. |
