Event Details

The development of instructional technologies for distance learning in low- and high-bandwidth contexts has created opportunities to bridge geographical divides in design education and conferencing.

How are design scholars using technology to facilitate interaction with global communities?

How are design scholars in the United States and abroad using and innovating distance learning technologies?

How are they integrating global interaction in their curricula and what are the challenges they face? What are some of the intellectual and creative outcomes of their efforts?

GLIDE '08 will address these thought-provoking questions among others and bring together, virtually, an international mix of design educators to share first-rate experiences teaching and conducting collaborative research globally. GLIDE '08 will highlight current trends in design collaborations between design scholars, graduate students and communities in first, second, third and fourth world regions around the world including the United States, Europe, China, Japan, Korea, India, Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East.

AIGA's mission is to advance designing as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force.

AIGA, the professional association for design, is the place design professionals turn to first to exchange ideas and information, participate in critical analysis and research and advance education and ethical practice. AIGA sets the national agenda for the role of design in its economic, social, political, cultural and creative contexts. AIGA is the oldest and largest membership association for professionals engaged in the discipline, practice and culture of designing. Founded as the American Institute of Graphic Arts in 1914 as a small, exclusive club, AIGA now represents more than 19,000 designers through national activities and local programs developed by more than 55 chapters and 200 student groups.
