| Abstract: | There has been much previous research into online group learning, but they have not been aware of or focused on the challenges that design disciplines encounter in terms of interaction when moving to online delivery. This qualitative study comprised 3 participatory design workshops and 22 one-to-one interviews that included a total of 34 teachers and students from the School of Design at the University of Leeds. Participants reported the challenges and feelings they encountered in online group learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that the interactive experience of group learning is mainly influenced by the size of the group, the layout of the platform interface, the teacher's management style and the conflict within the group, with more far-reaching discussions providing specific questions and subtle suggestions. The article's findings can inform future strategies for online group learning for students and teachers of design disciplines in design higher education institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
