framework for the implementation of a virtual design studio model in ...

It was in a simple language and the use of multi-ways of presentation
make the ideas more easy to be understood e.g. use of stories, videos,
discussions, game ...etc)
Forcing us to work and interact with others was very difficult at the
beginning but later we feel the advantage of interacting with everybody
even if we don‟t prefer to.
Student2: we wondered how easy it was to collaborate with others.
Do you think that VDS taught you something new in your personal
learning?
Student: Yes definitely, we learned new techniques like thinking outside
the box and try new approaches to problems and relate strange things
to each other to come up with new things. Use the imagination in a
better way and learn to respect one self.
Student2:
The studio improved my skills in team working and leadership.
Student4: i worked very hard to encourage other members to work and
keep our group ahead of others.
How successful was it to work in groups?
Very successful we learnt to deal with many people. Sometimes it is
easy to deal with and sometimes it is difficult.
Student4: some members were taking it seriously and others not but all
over it was very good working in groups.
Student4: although i didn‟t like the regrouping at all in the beginning but
later i discovered how useful it was to me.
How would you rate the effectiveness of the use of technology in the
studio?
Student: Was good we learnt new things but I hope to have learned
more.
Student2: especially facebook the technological application was very
useful
Did the exercise helped you during the studio?
Student4: Yes indeed i discovered some hidden places in my brain and
helped me to think in a different way.
