Students are expected to embrace all aspects of the virtual design process including prolonged and extended use of the VDS technology in order to achieve the best possible results through intensive collaboration. Students are required to prepare for the studio through a means of set texts and tasks given prior to the actual studio in order to familiarise themselves with the philosophy and expectations of the project. Students must begin in the studio with a clear idea of their own philosophical and political beliefs which will be encouraged by the tutors and built upon throughout the course of the studio. The assessment philosophy of this studio places value on the collaborative aspect of the studio; therefore assessment will take place throughout the duration of the studio, and students will be assessed on their level of participation. The final film installation will also be assessed. Participants will be assessed in the following methods: Continual Assessment: Due to the nature of the studio, the tutors will be responsible for continually assessing the students both online and off. Students will be assessed through critique, debate, and discussion; verbal and visual presentations during studio time; and through their use of the Digital media provided, namely Facebook. Tutors will focus on status updates, and contribution to individual Facebook groups. Students will also be assessed on their contributions made to the daily discussion board and blog available on the VDS website and the VDS group on Facebook. Self-Assessment: Students will also be subject to self-assessment which will be provided in the form of a questionnaire, found in the open learning work-book. 117
Peer Assessment: Students will be subject to peer assessment, which will be recorded on the VDS group Facebook page wall. Individual Facebook groups will also be monitored and assessed. Project Assessment: Students will be assessed on their final film presentations at the installation, along with their 100-word written brief. Students will also be required to assess the studio, and tutor performance and input, using a questionnaire provided in the open- learning workbook. 5.17.1 Studio Descriptors The Virtual Design Studio aims to engineer creative collaborative design, employing multi-technological applications and digital media tools to promote connectivity and collaborative practice in architecture and design. Coordinated by the author, the project aims to encourage students from the University of Sharjah‟s School of Engineering to collect, collaborate, and rethink Sharjah as a developing city. With the guidance of specifically selected expert tutors, the participants must redesign the future province of Sharjah with its heritage and religion placed firmly at the root of design. The students will take part in revolutionary studio-based workshops, with tasks taken from a multitude of disciplines. The intensive three-day studio will require students to complete online and hardcopy open-learning workbooks. They will consistently update and share their findings, make observations and present material both verbally and via designated digital mediums. The participants will be expected to work collaboratively for the production of design ideas linking the old Province to the new developing, cosmopolitan Sharjah. The studio‟s focus is firmly placed on creative collaboration and will include intensive, inter-disciplinary workshops to encourage quality work regarding the role of art and design when redefining design and architecture through the promotion of virtual design pedagogy. It will embrace a diverse range of experience as students from the United 118
