Preparing for digital wellbeing – realities from the academic trenches

The academic practice is both foundational and future oriented. Often, the skilled professional is invited to help prepare aspiring designers or mentor junior colleagues. A key question remains: whether the instruction should be limited to Figma and Cases Studies or the knowledge circle must be expanded in the direction of digital habits and life? The presenter will share telling insights of digital pedagogy from the academic kitchen – a rare glimpse of realities not discussed publicly even in specialized publications.
