Ian McArthur from COFA Online Discusses the Collabor8 Project

In December 2009, COFA Online academic Ian McArthur presented his take on studio teaching from an online perspective at the Studio Teaching Forum in Hobart, hosted by the Tasmanian School of Art, the University of Tasmania http://www.studiolearning.com.au

The forum was a national gathering of art and design studio teachers from higher education institutions from all over Australia, with the purpose of exploring current studio teaching practices, and mapping out effective strategies for the future.

The implications of true cross-cultural learning and teaching are highly relevant to the future of education in an increasingly networked world. Ian speaks about the recent Porosity | Collabor8 project called 'e-scape' http://porosity.c8.omnium.net.au. The project is an international collaborative design studio between China and Australian Universities that successfully used online and face to face studio teaching practices. Ian explores the cultural, communication and trust issues that arose when students from two different worlds worked so closely together for the first time.
