Questions To Address in the Wildcard Session
There are various questions that we believe this Wildcard Session will allow us to explore. We do not expect to cover all of them exhaustively, and to a large extent, we are leaving it open to you to decide which ones you want to concentrate on.
Suggest content for notecards which will be distributed
Suggest and Vote for Rapid Brainstorming Methods
As designers ourselves, we are aware of the dangers of locking in on particular ideas too early in the process. Thus, we envision this Wildcard as being a brainstorming session for initializing this discussion of what we each mean when we talk about design. To accomplish this work, we intend to utilize the very methods which we teach for exploring design spaces. At the Eclectic Design Research Group, our motivating philosophy is to create as many designs as possible, as quickly and cheaply as possible, and then iteratively explore the design space to test them out, evaluate them, integrate them, and improve them. We see this session as a brainstorming activity where we will attempt to apply this philosophy to the design of our classroom experiences.

We encourage your participation in designing this Wildcard.
