Geodesign: Change Your World

18 個評分

What happens when creativity and science come together? The power to design our world is unleashed, providing tools to inform choices about how we live! Geodesign is the glue—it’s a process that deploys creativity to connect information to people, using collaboration to better inform how we design our world. This course includes well-illustrated lectures by the instructor, but also guest lectures each week to ensure you are hearing a variety of viewpoints. Each week you will also be able to examine what geodesign is through interactive mapping that showcases real-word Case Study examples of geodesign from around the globe. As you move along in the course, you will discover the interrelationships of both the physical and human aspects that contribute to how geodesign strategies are composed. The course concludes with you outlining your own Geodesign Challenge, and receiving feedback about that from your peers.

Week 1: Shared Languages

This week we’ll begin your geodesign journey by helping you understand that the roots of geodesign are comprised of languages we all share. By languages I mean commonalities everyone can relate to; for example: our awareness of the spaces around us, our connection to place (location), and the way we deal with problem solving nearly everyday.

與講師見面

Prof. Kelleann Foster
Director
Stuckeman School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture

Hello.

I'm Kelly Ann Foster, a professor at Penn State, and

I want to welcome you to Geodesign, Change Your World.

We've been working really hard to put together a very exciting course, and

I can't wait to get started.

But before we begin,

I want to review a few things with you because this class is maybe a little

bit different than the typical MOOC course that you might have taken.

Each week you will have a new lesson, and each lesson has several parts.

There's my main lecture, which covers the key topic.

There will be two guest lectures who elaborate on the topic.

And there are change agent cards, they're kind of like flash cards.

I've also curated three case study examples for you to review each week.

There's a weekly activity and a reading or two, and each week there's also a short

quiz which is going to assess your understanding about all of these things.

In addition, we hope you participate in the discussion forums.

Your final grade in this class will be based on how well you do in the quizzes,

your completion of the final activity, which will be assessed.

And the degree to which your discussion forum posts are acknowledged by your

classmates.

There's no particular order that you have to complete these various parts each week.

However, it's probably most helpful to begin by viewing my main lecture video, or

the scor, or the corresponding text.

The case study examples each week are grouped based on the change agent topic.

So it might be good to review the change agent cards before looking at the case

studies.

I do want to emphasize, though, that simply watching my main lecture video each

week won't be enough to successfully complete this class.

The other parts I've assembled are really valuable, and

will provide you with a richness of understanding about geodesign.

Before the class starts, we'd like you to do a quick kind of fun activity.

We're going to have you pinpoint your location on a map.

I've already got a general sense that we've got students from all over the world

enrolled, which is really great.

It will be fun to see exactly where you are and who you are.

So I hope you will take just a couple of minutes before the class

begins to pin yourself on the map and look over all the course materials.

I look forward to sharing with you how the geodesign process is helping to

address land-use design challenges of all scales all around the world.

Thanks for joining this conversation and have fun exploring.
