Creating Design Signatures Teaching Activities

The main set of teaching activities for creating design signatures can be found under the section Creating. This includes a pointer to the Design Signatures App as well as descriptions for using spreadsheets and bubble sheets to collect the data to create design signatures.

See below for Other Teaching Activities:

We have used the concept of design signatures to teach students about design awareness in the Dear Design and Design Process Resilience classes listed below. In those classes, each week students would learn about a new lens (or frame) to use to examine their design process. We include four of these lenses as teaching activities here:

• Good Designers do “X”
• What Counts as Design?
• Forming Design Awareness Questions
• Many Models of Design

We also include a teaching activity called “Art & ‘X’” that we have found to be a compelling way to teach about abstract concepts.
