Riorganizzare online un master universitario sui temi del colore, della luce e dello spazio

Abstract

Covid-19 forced university studies to the web. This paper describes the case study of an experience-based MA-level course at Aalto University about colour-light-space. The purpose is to evaluate and study the peda- gogical methods used in the web-based educational environment. The research methods are: practice-based case study, documentation of the course and students work, a questionnaire for the students, and per- sonal notes. Three pedagogical principles summarize the results: 1) new practices and rules of the web-based educational environment; 2) pedagogical methods for connecting people during the course; 3) methods for building the experience of colour, light and space for the web. All lectures, assignments and virtual excursions were adapted to the web.
