Dear friends,
I am teaching a course on design this coming fall. This is in a college
of eduction. The brief course description is as follows:
Title: Design of Media for Learning
Brief description: Design knowledge as it intersects education,
psychology, communications, engineering, media theory, art and
aesthetics. Research methodologies for understanding design. Design of
educational media.
I often like to include videos in my teaching - either as short clips
that we view in class or longer movies that I recommend to students. For
instance in my educational psychology classes we watch anything from
"Searching for Bobby Fisher" to " Ętre et avoir" (English title, To Be
and to Have, and for those who haven't seen it, it is a wonderful
documentary about a one room school-house in France)."
I was wondering if people on this list can recommend some
movies/documentaries/short films related to design, the meaning we
attach to artifacts, the creative process etc., anything that can help
set the agenda or help us thinking fruitfully about this complicated
thing we call design. Currently on my list are "The Deep Dive" (6o
minutes show on IDEO), a movie called Robot Stories (especially the 2nd
story in the movie), and a few more...
Please reply to me directly and I will post a summary to the list (if
people are interested).
thanks in anticipation
~ punya
