Atelier-D Project

Design Education requires a type of learning landscape that supports learners’ in effectively exploring and synthesising diverse types of information. Distance Design Education, in particular, requires a platform for learning support that allows learners to map their ideas, research, thoughts and designs whilst enabling them to make connections between these diverse elements of design thinking.

The CDI was run . In this case study we examined the use of Compendium (http://compendium.open.ac.uk/software.html), a freely-available knowledgemapping tool mapping software developed by the Open University within the context of the OU course Innovation: Designing for a Sustainable Future (T307).
