Research on Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) has indicated that course design is at least as important as teachers' performance for student-rated perceived quality and student engagement. Our data analysis of more than 6000 SETs confirms this. Two hierarchical multiple regression models revealed that course design significantly predicts…

First-year engineering students are often introduced to the engineering design process through project-based learning situated in a concrete design context. Design contexts like mechanical engineering are commonly used, but students and teachers may need more options. In this article, we show how sustainable building design can serve as an…

This study shares the direct experiences of designing and implementing methodological "learning-by-doing" for Action Design Research (ADR) within a 5-credit module that condenses the realities of completing a full ADR project without compromising the rigour of the approach. The module is described in detail, along with the specifics of…

In this paper, we report findings from a larger study that investigated design failure, as a phenomenon, in instructional design (ID) practice from the perspective of ID practitioners. Following an interpretive phenomenological study design, we interviewed 17 ID practitioners working in diverse settings, seeking their stories of design failure.…

The references to the kinematic dimension of experience in the technical sphere yield constitutive concepts related to technical consistency and constancy. On the norm side, the design principle of developing an applied linguistic intervention that is reliable becomes prominent, and on the factual side the internal technical consistency of the…

Background: In computing education, educators are constantly faced with the challenge of developing new curricula, including learning objectives (LOs), while ensuring that existing courses remain relevant. Large language models (LLMs) were shown to successfully generate a wide spectrum of natural language artefacts in computing education.…

Instructional design is a design discipline that bridges science and arts-based practices. It has a long history of borrowing from various fields of design. Experience Design (XD) is a relatively new field that holds relevance for instructional design because, as a multidisciplinary approach, XD focuses on creating meaningful user experiences and…

Background: Psychological interventions need to be adapted for use with people with intellectual disabilities to ensure they are engaging, accessible and effective. Co-design allows the experiences of service users and stakeholders to actively shape and develop interventions, to ensure their accessibility. Method: An adapted model of Experience…

The leaders of Networks for School Improvement (NSIs) have complex, challenging jobs which require constant learning and adaptation. To support these leaders, the contributors to this volume have developed a survey-based data visualization system--the Improvement Network Health Development (INHD) Information System--designed to generate insight…

This article focuses on exploring the integration of Anyue stone carving and creative product design under the background of cultural tourism integration. The study explores the two core concepts of cultural identity and aesthetic value in the context of design education literacy. Through a literature review to sort out relevant theories, field…

Service Dominant Logic (SDL) proposes value creation as a process based on service, the success of which ultimately depends on employees' service orientation. Given that universities are the nest of future employees, and the latest World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report highlights skills such as empathy and active listening, leadership and…
