What will it feel like to study online?

IDI Study www.idi-study.com

As a student you will find that every aspect of your innovative learning and teaching experience is delivered through the Interactive Design Institute’s bespoke online study environment, IDI Study. Our study environment is carefully designed to be not only user friendly but also secure and reliable. All IDI students have access to a secure, personal online studio where all module learning materials are stored and where communication with your tutors and fellow students takes place.

Courses are carefully structured to enable you to acquire the knowledge and understanding required to fulfil the course learning outcomes. Effective course delivery is a priority and is carried out through project based activities where you will learn through engagement in a variety of set tasks. Support materials that supplement this project based work are provided throughout the learning experience. 

As a student, you will record your work in a variety of ways; these can include photographs, scanned images, screen grabs, word files or pdfs. As you progress through the activities, you will be required to upload examples of your work to named folders within your ‘my work’ area, notifying your tutor by posting a message in the module discussion each time you upload.

As an IDI student, you will develop confidence and communication skills through participation in self and peer based evaluation of your work and the work of your fellow students within structured online forum activities.

Tutors will provide critical advice and feedback to you on a one to one basis within separate module discussions. You will interact with fellow students within online forums, where you can share images and explore a range of issues which may include, communication, design aesthetics, user needs and aspirations, employability, materials and processes, human factors, and issues surrounding preparation for the world of work. The learning experience is further enhanced through a series of formal Critical and Cultural Studies modules, which provide a context for your research and practice.
