Listen, Observe, Make: Moving the Traditional Design Teaching Domains in the Distance Learning Age

More than a year after the first reactions to the shift of educational activities from classrooms to homes - where digital tools have become gateways to new ways of disseminating knowledge - the methods and strategies of defining teaching activities have not undergone substantial structural changes. The contribution will focus on the following aspects: i) home didactics, how the domestic space modifies teaching methods and effects; ii) linguistic tools, and the necessary change of communicative strategy in the verbal and virtual translation of tacit and tangible knowledge; iii) design practice, in its relational dimension between experimentation and validation. Starting from these three elements, is it possible to intervene in the forms of the new digital didactics through a shift from the visual dimension of learning to the factual dimension of understanding? This article tries to problematize the future path that will meet the transfer of knowledge and skills with reference to the teaching paths of design schools in a scenario of distance learning.
