The Digitally Engaged Learning (DEL) conference is an annual international conference exploring and evolving digitally engaged teaching and learning in art and design higher education. It aims at creating a critical and reflective space at the intersection of creative disciplines in higher education, teaching, learning and digital technologies. It has been running annually since 2005, supported by an international partnership of art and design institutions of higher education. In 2020, DEL will be hosted fully online by Parsons School of Design of New School University in New York City, USA.
This year’s theme is “Hybridity”. Creative disciplines, both as instigators and as critics, have been a driving force in developing practices of hybridization that seamlessly appropriate, remix, and synthesize new formations of found elements from a wide range of contexts. In return, (tertiary) education as a mediator of cultures is expected to reflect, frame, respond and utilise this continuous stream of ideas. DEL 2020 presents contributions that celebrate, question, and/or explore the multiplicity of hybridity in teaching and learning, and across (creative) disciplines along the three tracks of “Transcultural Practices”, “Decolonising Knowledges”, and “Digitised Collectives”, three topics that strongly correlate with initiatives of the Shared Campus group.
The Shared Campus’s Tools Group has been closely involved in the planning of the DEL2020 and we are pleased to present a couple of interesting contributions.
