| Teaching & Learning Strategies: |
The learner is immersed in a range of collaborative, problem-solving activities, to investigate and evaluate where design can propose solutions for commercial and social benefit. The holistic, student-centred studio- based approach, facilitated by faculty, is intended to negotiate, facilitate and guide learner engagement and scaffold a deep-learning using the following strategies: • Lectures, • Studio based learning, • Peer-to-peer group/team learning, • E-Learning, • Presentation, • Facilitated peer-to-peer critique/review, • Self-directed independent learning,

Module Content & Assessment
| Indicative Content |
|
Stories Narratives and Audience
Introduction to narrative structure, information flow, story sequencing. The learner will discuss and experiment with ways to read, construct, and unfold visual narratives using drawing, digital media (Adobe Creative Suite) and/or suitable materials. Learner will communicate stories verbally and visually using printed and digital media. Consider audience experience and understanding – the use of metaphor and symbols – user journeys and narratives. Explore appropriate formats and layouts for stories.
|
|
Research Visualisation
Explore ways to present research in clear, concise, and visually interesting ways using storyboarding and digital media. Introduction to constructing clear information flow and visualizing complex data, scoping and situational data and processes

Infrastructure Resources
Design Studio – a dedicated space designed to allow for studio based learning. This space is specific to a particular learning group. While used to deliver studio based education the space is available to be used outside the time frame of the working day. It provides a safe learner driven, peer-reviewed environment, supported on a one-to-one basis. It supports the synthesis of parallel concurrent modular knowledge, skills and competency with prior learning & personal aesthetic judgement, to resolve specific design research question/s.

Computer Plotter Printer Resources
Learner requires access to studio and dedicated lab computers facilities. There should be access to printing and plotting facilities in order to complete projects. The studio must also be fitted with good quality projector, document visualiser and sound equipment for delivery of hybrid approaches. The studio should be fitted with computers capable of running creative design software
