Abstract Details

1999, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Industrial, Interior Visual Communication Design.
Design Education, Distance Learning and New Media As teaching professionals, we have a responsibility to vigorously encourage our students to explore, research, experiment and discover. As more and more students aspire to become designers, it will become essential that we maintain quality, strong values, and high expectations. By providing a valuable supplement to design education curriculum, students will be better prepared for entry into professional practice. Interactive multimedia and the Internet are primarily visual media. Its incorporation into design education is a logical one. The advantages these media may offer may begin to change the paradigm in design education. This thesis project, which includes the design and production of an interactive CD-ROM featuring an interdisciplinary history of design, examines the use of this new media in a classroom setting. The project was developed in two phases. The first phase of the project discusses the administrative and technical requirements necessary to design, develop and deliver an interactive multimedia program to students. This includes an evaluation of current multimedia authoring software and outlines the production process involved. Phase two attempts to simulate a distance learning program by implementing the program as a part of the course curriculum for ID 253 Design History. Design students at The Ohio State University utilized the program for a period of two weeks. During this time they were not required to attend their regularly scheduled class time. At the end of two weeks, students were then tested on the content of the CD-ROM program. Following this test, the program was evaluated for its effectiveness on different learning styles and its most useful application in a learning environment Positive and negative program attributes are discussed as well as an overall assessment of the program’s success (or failure). Recommendations are presented from the perspectives of students and teaching faculty with a conclusion on future projections for the use of this media.
