TY - JOUR TT - An Evaluation of Applying Blended Practices to Employ Studio-Based Learning in a Large-Enrollment Design Thinking Course AU - Brown, Sydney E. AU - Karle, Sarah Thomas AU - Kelly, Brian PY - 2015 DA - December JF - Contemporary Educational Technology PB - Ali ŞİMŞEK WT - DergiPark SN - 1309-517X SP - 260 EP - 280 VL - 6 IS - 4 KW - Blended learning KW - Studio-based learning KW - Design thinking KW - Mixed methods KW - Technology and learning KW - Educational technology N2 - DSGN110 was a multidisciplinary course teaching first year students enrolled in in a variety of majors about design thinking. The course is offered for the majors of architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, community and regional planning, along with computer science and business students. By blending face-to-face and online instructional strategies, desired practices and learning outcomes associated with the more intimate nature of studio-based learning and learning through action were scaled and achieved in the large enrollment course. The quantitative analysis of the pre and post survey revealed significant change across all constructs and the qualitative data analysis supported these findings, demonstrating that a blended course design utilizing collaborative technology platforms offered an innovative solution to teaching and learning in a manner reflective of a studio-based pedagogy.
