Research Value
The international collaborative research undertaken in the development of The Global Studio led to a number of research outputs – such as a book exploring the linking of research, teaching and learning, and high quality papers delivered at leading international conferences and articles appearing in international journals.
This research also contributed to the securing of internal and external research funding such as the ‘Open ICT Tools: Collaborative Tools to Support BCE’ project funded by JISC infoNet. This project explores the use of ICT tools to facilitate global collaborative and secured engagement with external business and community partners, and involves a team comprising members from across Northumbria University including LTech, IT Services, and CETL: AfL

The Global Studio: Linking Research, Teaching and Learning
This book is aimed at design educators and is intended as a resource for those interested in exploring the potential of the Global Studio for the education of future designers. It is important to stress, however, that the editors are not suggesting all design courses should incorporate a global component, nor that all design courses should be conducted along the lines of a design studio. In fact, they seek to draw attention to a recognition of differences. The aim is to generate different ideas and approaches for ‘doing’ design education and ongoing discussion about what counts, and for whom, in relation to curriculum development in design. Another aim is to exemplify various ways of how research, teaching and learning can be linked. An important aspect of The Global Studio is that it provides a rich research site for exploring questions in relation to teaching and learning as well as doing product development in geographically distributed design teams.
The review of the book is available from the Higher Education Academy’s national subject centre for Arts, Design and Media.
