A Study on Digital Platform Integration for Design Innovation

Abstract

Fostering creativity in design education is essential to prepare students for the evolving demands of the industry. This study investigates the impact of innovative teaching techniques, specifically the use of digital platforms, on enhancing creativity within design pedagogy. Conducted with 25 interior design students in five groups, the study explores how collaborative digital tools, such as MURAL and SketchUp, influence students' design processes, ideation, and prototyping. Observational data indicated that these tools facilitated rapid development of creative ideas and refined designs, suggesting that integrating digital platforms in design education enhances students' collaborative creativity and practical problem-solving abilities.
