Abstract

This paper investigates the challenges faced by design educators with this new shift in education paradigm, from traditional studio-based learning to online modes of instruction and discussion. The paper reports findings of a study which includes a survey of 150 users of online education and in-depth interviews of ten design educators who are currently taking classes online in India. The findings suggest technical modifications that can be made to designs of online education portals as well as to online design pedagogy so that they can cater to design education in a more efficient manner.
