4.  Overall objective is the creation and development of digital learning environments related to design.  focus on knowledge creation, storing, dissemination of design education in four sectors - university, industry and the informal sector. Introduction: Digital-learning environment for Design

5.  At present: 20 design institutes + over 100 commercial art colleges in India + over 10,000 skill based institutes. - expected to grow exponentially  Need to expose the non-formal sector about innovation, human factors, quality and aesthetics through understanding of design.  Visual medium is suited to explain, understand and learn aspects of design. Rationale: Digital-learning environment for Design

6.  1. Digital online content for learning design with distance e-learning programs on design  2. Social networking for higher learning with collaborative learning space for design - for synchronous and asynchronous interaction  3. Digital design resource database (including the craft sector)  4. Design inputs for products of National Mission in Education through ICT Key themes: Digital-learning environment for Design

7.  Create online content for design learning  Create systems for online learning through distance education  Synchronous live transmission of demos, case studies, lectures, workshops, etc. 1. Digital online content for learning Design: Digital-learning environment for Design

8.  Design Studios <> Classrooms  Week long Modules <> Hourly Lectures  Demos, Case studies, Examples <> Class Lectures  Project Based learning <> Text book learning  Experiential learning <> Memory based learning  Creative Problem Solving <> Method based Solving 1. Learning Design: Digital-learning environment for Design

9.  Create a social networking platform for design learning  Create a collaborative space for both synchronous and as well as asynchronous design learning  Active interactions between learners and educators 2. Social networking platform for design learning: Digital-learning environment for Design

10. 2. Design Networking: Digital-learning environment for Design

11.  Create systems for documentation of existing knowledge of design and crafts  Create access to this information database ( will become a national resource and treasure) 3. Digital Design Resource Database: Digital-learning environment for Design

12.  The participating design institutes can provide design inputs to the various products of the mission  Inputs could in form of Product Design, Visual Communication Design and Interface/Interaction Design. 4.
