Immersive Research Project 2 module (DJ53033)

You will negotiate a learning plan for a self-directed design project. You will apply the knowledge gained through earlier modules to address a health, care or wellbeing challenge leading to a highly resolved design response/ solution. The module will assist a return to a previous career or a future one.
 

What you will learn

In this module, you will:

• take responsibility for your own learning and develop a project selecting a new health, care or wellbeing challenge or significantly develop a challenge you identified in previous semesters
• demonstrate methods of deep intellectual inquiry leading to creative insights and a critical understanding of design processes and healthcare improvement processes
• critically analyse, develop, and refine creative ideas and design concepts
• develop highly resolved original design outcome(s) that respond(s) to the research problem/ challenge

By the end of the module you will be able to:

demonstrate a high level of professionalism in negotiating and conducting an independent, self-determined research project including ethical considerations.

Assignments / assessment

• design project report (100%)

This module does not have a final exam

Teaching methods / timetable

The module will be delivered by academics from the three Schools involved (Art & Design, Medicine, Health Sciences). Individuals from external organisations may be invited to deliver workshops or lectures or to supervise students.

Students will be predominantly self-directed in leading the investigation, liaising with healthcare professionals and users and in resolution of a design project. Students will meet regularly over the course of the semester with the module staff to update on progress and receive feedback, both individually and with peers to enable shared learning experiences

Students will be supported by an academic supervisor in the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design as well as a supervisor from either Medicine or Health Sciences who will assist in negotiating interactions with healthcare settings and provide guidance on healthcare related subjects. Students will divide their time between the healthcare context into which they are connected and studio space in Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design.
