D&D- IDT Professor's Forum (h)

Full Session: Special Session

Short Description

The IDT Professors Forum is an annual gathering sponsored by the Design and Development Division. We invite all professors (tenure-track, adjunct, or clinical) who teach design and development to join us.

This year’s topic will focus on being a design educator: challenges, successes, areas in which we collectively excel, and areas in which we should collaborate to improve. Our goal is to learn from each others’ collective experiences in order to better prepare ourselves and our students to actively work towards the elimination of injustices of all kinds.

This year’s IDT forum will start with a general gathering for the first hour, during which time we’ll share experiences and brainstorm an outline for a “blended” experience for those who could not attend the forum or conference. After Hour 1, we’ll engage in a “Think / Pair / Share” activity - attendees are free to come and leave as they please. During that session, we’ll capture short video vignettes (with participants’ permission) that feature one or more IDT professors sharing advice or points to consider with respect to design education challenges or opportunities. The videos will then be available on YouTube and linked through Design & Development’s website and social media accounts.
