Workshop 1:<\/strong>LEGO Serious Play Session
\nTopic: International Collaboration between our educations and research<\/p>\n

In the workshop we pick up the main focus of the E&PDE-conference the participants are invited to share experience and visions for improving international collaboration in our field. The workshop is run in the effective and entertaining LEGO SERIOUS PLAY format managed by experienced LSP-facilitators.
\nThe participants should not prepare anything for the workshop. Just show up and have a breath-taking experience. Limited amount of participants: 20 persons.
\nYou get the possibility to present your own experience on international collaboration related to research and education and you get an overview of the experiences and visions of your colleagues around the world. You will probably also discover new ways to describe collaborative topics and qualify your discussions and relations with the other participants.
\nThe purpose of the workshop is therefore to qualify and increase international collaboration in our area, but also to introduce a creative workshop format that is successfully spreading around the world. <\/p>\n

Workshop 2: <\/strong>How Can Social Network Sites Support Collaboration Within Product Design Education?
\nChair: Ross Brisco \u2013 University of Strathclyde.
\nCo-Chair: Dr Ian Whitfield – University of Strathclyde.<\/p>\n

In line with the conference theme of collaboration and cross-disiplinarity, this workshop will discuss the role of social network sites in design education.
\nSocial network sites are an everyday tool to communicate with friends and family. Students have adopted the technology not only in their social lives but also to facilitate their academic work. Studies have indicated that social network sites make it easier for students to share formal and informal information within group project work, and achieve more timely communication. From a pedagogical perspective this raises interesting questions regarding how a team\u2019s social dynamics could change when it comes to participating in group projects, how we can support and encourage students to use social network sites, as well as how appropriate our involvement is. Since these sites reflect a record of the communication, interaction and collaboration within the group, is it possible to use a student\u2019s involvement in a social network environment as an evaluation of their performance?
\nIf you interested in learning more about using social network sites to support collaboration, this workshop will act as an introduction to current and future use of the communication methods and can help you to understand how students today are utilising platforms such as Facebook and Twitter for effective design communication.
\nThis workshop will aim to answer the questions:
\n\u2022\tHow are social network sites being used by students to support project based learning?
\n\u2022\tHow should academics support the use of social network sites in an appropriate way?
\n\u2022\tHow can we use social network sites to best engage students in their design projects?
\nThe workshop will last for two hours and will be formatted as follows:
\nAn introduction will be delivered on how students are using social network sites to conduct design projects and recommendations on ways to integrate social network sites into design education. <\/p>\n
