Abstract

Distance learning was not a common phenomenon in design education. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced to shift from physical learning to online distance learning. This has resulted in a challenge to train students to develop design direction for their projects. This article discusses the initial investigation for the effectiveness of Iceberg adaptation to online studio in developing design direction. Google Jamboard was used as the workshop’s platform to support the adapted method. Online questionnaires were employed to elilcit students’ feedback and the quantitative data were supported with the coordinator’s observation. This study identified that most students found that the method was beneficial for design direction in the group setting. However, physical interaction is preferable as it is challenging to understand the procedure online. These responses were crucial for the researcher as the Iceberg method will be developed to suit multiple situations.
