NMC 2015 Workshop

During the workshop we explored targeted aspects of an ongoing collaborative action research study with the University System of New Hampshire. Our aim to make positive impact on student learning by integrating creativity, high-impact problem-solving strategies, effective technological tools, and purposeful making.

Design Learning Network

The Design Learning Network links like-minded members and international partners with organizations such as the School of Art & Design at the University of Lincoln in the United Kingdom, Design Management Institute, National Art Education Association, Design-Ed Coalition, and Industrial Design Society of America.

The ultimate goal of the shared efforts between network partners and members is to create effective and sustainable design learning links between primary, secondary, and higher education students and teachers on a global scale.

The overarching objective of the network is to cause a wide cross-section of disciplines to engage in meaningful design learning experiences within a network of activities such as design learning challenges, workshops, and symposiums.

Grounded in an action research approach, the intended outcome of the network’s efforts aim to result in overall enhanced educational experiences for all educators and students involved at a significant level.
