Abstract  
In this session at the 2019 “Motion Design Education Summit” the authors will describe the pedagogical development and provide examples of “The Designumentary ,” a communication design project that has been developed and implemented since 2016. “The Designumentary” was first assigned to undergraduate graphic design sophomores at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, or “MassArt” and was later adapted at Merrimack College as well.

Abstract  
Play, Make, Speculate is a pedagogical framework for the
design classroom, developed by Hodara and Rettig. This paper demonstrates
how freeform play, rapid making, and speculation can be used to address
the visual and technical components of augmented reality, and challenges
students to address the ethical concerns that are critical to their work. These
include issues of who has access and the repercussions of adding new media
to our society.
Hodara and Rettig draw on original curricula and student work from the
following courses: Augmented and Virtual Reality for Designers & Storytellers,
a graduate seminar at The Dynamic Media Institute at Massachusetts College
of Art and Design (Boston MA); Disobedient Design, an interdisciplinary
undergraduate elective in the Communication Design Department at
Massachusetts College of Art and Design; and Augment My Type, a workshop
in Type@Cooper at The Cooper Union (New York, NY).

From technical barriers to ethical concerns, bringing augmented reality (AR) into the college classroom presents specific challenges. Students struggle with finding the right tools, and often lose sight of critical analysis when excited by the novelty of working with a shiny, new technology. As educators and designers in the creative classroom, we explore how to bring augmented reality and other emergent technologies into the public university curriculum. This past January, we shared our ideas in a four-hour workshop at the 2020 Interaction Design Education Summit at the Domus Academy (Milan, Italy). This article summarizes our approach to teaching AR and provides educators with tools to bring AR into their own classrooms.
