Comment on Dream Team by Yang Liu

Agree. As we can imagine how tough work the professors face if they plan to add the interactive part during the class. Design a game for a specific area is cooperation teamwork. For an instant, in the team, basically need a graphic designer, 3-D designer, coding people, professor in the class. The need group students to do the testing. Conservatively, it should be organised 1 year advanced before the class starting. The schedule is the biggest challenge for the team member. Also, we need to think about sponser. It is a challenge, also, it is a future.

Comment on Learning in 2006 vs 2016 by Yang Liu

Congratulation! you are so brave to face the challenge. I experienced the similar situation at the first semester at Tech. During the first meeting with the director of our major, he noticed that the coding course is one of the compulsory course in creative technology major. When I hear that I almost cry. I told him ” you would ask a fine art student work in coding section”. But, with his encouragement, I add in that class. Finally, I understand it is a new language to present the ideas and concepts. I think it is the true life, we are growing without expectation.

Comment on My favorite (digital) things by Yang Liu

Thanks for the sharing channel. The website I always visit is http://www.lynda.com, which is free to access the web and watch a lot of tutorial video. It is a great web for the self-teaching. Typing the name of the program you want to learn then there are series of playlist show. You would choose the learning level and find the comfortable the video to follow.

Comment on Sorry, No Internet Today! by Yang Liu

As I know, digital technology is a tool in learning. It will affect our study life but will not instead of traditional educational experience. If the students who have already attended the online class, they will realise that face-to face communication is still necessary during the process of learning and teaching. The digital technology offers different blueprint in class, which depends on the variety of majors. Thus, the traditional study way and digital technology learning method are paralleled tools to obtain acknowledge.

Comment on Where does learning truly happen? by Yang Liu

In my opinion, learning in the classroom and outside classroom are two different methods to obtain the acknowledge. In the classroom, most of the students follow the sckedule of the teacher organised. The teach will push us. It is good for the primary level. But, the outside classroom learning is more important for advanced level study. Based the primary educational experience, the student needs to narrative down the research area and schedule the study plan.This is a challenge for the higher education, which focuses on the ability to learn not just gains from teachers.

Hi Amy, Thanks.
Unfortunatey I counldn’t find the original link of the blog about Daan Roosegaarde in 2013. But I remember the blog is an introduction to his Smart Highway project. (https://www.designboom.com/technology/smart-highway-by-daan-roosegaarde-wins-index-award-2013/)
I knwo this project when I studied at London 2013. When I work for Beijing Design Week as the program manager after I graduated. Daan Roosegaarde is one of the guest speakers of Beijing Design Forum. His amazing thoughs inspired me to explore the digital art world.
