Small-Scale Design Experiments as Working Spaces for Larger Mobile Communication Challenges
Abstract
In this paper we use a small-scale design experiment to outline three distinct challenges for educating emerging designers entering the field of mobile communication – in particular within the space of a museum. Challenges related to design research which have arisen as valid investigative needs from observed outcomes of a co-design experiment. We also contend that placing emphasis on discovering future needs from small-scale experiments is applicable across design pedagogies and provides students with a framework for conducting deeper analysis and research.
