5. ButWhy....?
Blogs

writing skills and
observation skills.
• Boost confidence
in communicating
their design inspirations
and processes.
Discussion Boards
• Boost communication
between peers.
• Sharing of content
for conversation starters.

6. Why
Domestika???
• An active learning experience
through the use of guided video
lessons and the sharing of
tryouts, references and
processes using forums.
• SETBACK: No actual
engagement or live streams.

7. Where?
• April 2020: All subjects
• DES1000: Color Studies (Practical)
• HIS1200: History of Art & Design (Theory)

8. Some examples from
DES1000

9. Unfortunately...
• August 2020: Blogs faulted
• Students were unable to submit posts,
include images, attach files, etc.
• Plan B – Migrate to Discussion boards!

10. Using Discussion Boards

11. In the end..
• Students found it useful and were
able to time manage better.
• They also can see what their peers
have done, and this creates new
conversations and discussions
outside the classroom.
