Stanford d.school: Teaching + Learning Yearbook ’21
The d.school Yearbook is an annual publication for supporters of its Teaching & Learning program. A global pandemic kept us from campus in 2020-2021 and led to three quarters of fully distributed teaching and learning. This yearbook is divided into the following three sections:
Redefining Interaction
Without a physical space, but with a whole new world of digital tools, our community found creative ways to reimagine meaningful interaction. In this section, we delve into how we took on the challenge of remote learning and working by building new ways to connect with one another. from within classrooms to behind the scenes. Spoiler alert: there’s a lot we’re going to take forward.
Pursuing Intention
Design is not a static process, but a dynamic, evolving set of methods to understand and tackle problems in the world. We must hold ourselves accountable to reflecting on and questioning the ever-changing ways in which we approach design and to the intended and unintended impacts of our work. Here we share our strides towards improving equity and inclusion and equipping students to be intentional, reflective designers.
Pushing Interdisciplinarity
When disciplines collide there is an opportunity for surprising, boundary-pushing ideas to emerge. From space to emerging technologies to healthcare, our students, staff, and community partners explored the magic of interesting intersections. This section details how we collaborated to learn from and with each other at unexpected nexuses.
