UCDA Design Education Summit
Free On-demand Event starting July 6
Design educators and graduate students—join your colleagues in the 15th annual UCDA Design Education Summit. This national summit for design educators, chairs, and students, continues an ongoing community created specifically for graphic design educators with many opportunities for professional participation and development.
PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE BETWEEN JULY 6-31, 2020
Human-centered design (HCD) is a creative approach to problem-solving for human needs. It starts with the people you are designing for and includes them as active participants and subject-matter experts in the creative process. They become partners and co-creators in designing products, services, interactions, spaces, and experiences that meet their actual needs. In the classroom, HCD creates opportunities for experiential learning, innovation, and social impact as well as connections to, and collaborations with other disciplines.
The UCDA Design Education Summit: Human Centered will focus on how HCD is shaping the way we engage, educate, and prepare students for a career in design. We are seeking individual and collaborative projects that highlight successes, failures, best practices, theories, and new models/conventions of engaging HCD in the classroom.
This free online summit is open to UCDA members and non-members, design educators and practitioners, and students. Included in the summit are on-demand recordings of the panel discussions, workshops, and paper and poster presentations selected from abstracts submitted through the peer reviewed process, that you may view at your convenience.
