Undoing Algorithmic Teaching Topographies

NAFA Campus 1, Towerblock Room 5-36 (SU)

Note: Session time is listed in BST. Check your local time zone. Reversing gravitational pulls of in-person teaching toward multidirectional fluid teaching topographies of embodied texture-mapped immersive learning environments, we sought to undo the finite sequence of rigorous instructions inherent in most algorithmic learning environments. Rather than hoping new tech tools will dismantle the entrenched normative of the patriarchal house, students… Read More »Undoing Algorithmic Teaching Topographies

Generative Machine Learning as a Speculative Design Toolkit for Climate Education

NAFA Campus 1, Towerblock Room 6-14 (PC)

Note: Session time is listed in BST. Check your local time zone. Teaching climate change outcomes can be difficult due to deeply ingrained political viewpoints. Education can often evolve into debates instead of providing information. Instead, process-based methods like storytelling and games can promote climate education by motivating students to engage in speculative future scenario imagining. This work describes a workshop… Read More »Generative Machine Learning as a Speculative Design Toolkit for Climate Education

Researching AI Generative Platforms with Human Computation: A Method

NAFA Campus 1, Towerblock Room 5-36 (SU)

Note: Session time is listed in BST. Check your local time zone. Developing methods to conduct research in the fast evolving field of AI generative platforms may become an arms race of machine learning which may possibly lose the essence of qualitative forms of knowing and perceiving nuanced relationships. This DYO session is intended to demonstrate and reflect on a… Read More »Researching AI Generative Platforms with Human Computation: A Method

Open spaces: Designing a culture of sharing in creative online environments

NAFA Campus 1, Towerblock Room 6-14 (PC)

Note: Session time is listed in BST. Check your local time zone. Creative education needs ways to explore ideas dynamically that encourage learning communities' development in a studio environment. In the standard (design) studio model, in-person (IP) learning fosters a culture of sharing (CoS) as students and faculty engage in a multi-direction dialog via desk crits, class pinups, and final reviews.… Read More »Open spaces: Designing a culture of sharing in creative online environments

Teaching AI as a Creative Medium to Interdisciplinary Art and Design Students

NAFA Campus 1, Towerblock Room 6-14 (PC)

Note: Session time is listed in BST. Check your local time zone. Is artificial intelligence (AI) making students less creative? Educators are debating the roles of AI in the classroom as students embrace generative tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney. In this session, the presenters will share their pedagogical experience on how they integrated this new technology into the classroom while… Read More »Teaching AI as a Creative Medium to Interdisciplinary Art and Design Students
