THEME
Our main theme at the Oslo HIOA meeting will be how we as design schools balance between “analogue” and “digital” teaching in our curricula.The overall theme also raises parallel perspectives like; “Physical” versus “Virtual”, “New” versus “Old” or “Crafts” versus “Automation”. The theme will be covered in the leaders meetings as well as in the teachers in workshops. We will have both practical workshops and discussion workshops. More specifically, we present subjects like:

• 3D clay printing, how to teach students to learn – with 3D printing as a pedagogical tool.

• We wish to discuss digital strategies for learning; additive and subtractive design processes (wood, metal, and textile)

• Our department is active in the field of design for health – for instance covering subjects like; how art theory in haptics meets orthopedic technology and how design can improve everyday lives of the chronically ill.

  2: 3d print as an analogue and a digital process
  If the process of designing is the process of learning , what do digital media bring to the table?

  4: Heath + Design = X(perience)
  The Oxford dictionary defines experience as the process of getting knowledge or skill from doing, seeing, or feeling things. If it is a process of discovery that lies at the heart of an experience, how does a design process influence this process? In this workshop we invite you to think, explore, and share on how Design can add to a meaningful healthcare experience.
