Insight Cards
Through Insight Cards, students of the lab share insights from their design research.
About Insight Cards
Insight Cards are sets of cards that students in the lab develop to share the insights they have gained during their master graduation projects.
Insights can come from the literature or from empirical studies they conducted themselves.
The A4 cards communicate main conclusions and provide an entry to more detailed information, through references to the literature, the student reports or through contact addresses.
Thus, they are a way of consolidating and of providing access to the body of knowledge that is built through the students’ individual design research projects.
Who are they for?
Insight cards give new students in the lab a head start, so that they can more easily build on prior research results, for deepening their own design research.
Insight cards are also a service to the partners of the lab, for keeping them up to date about the body of knowledge that is being built in the lab. They appear digitally (as a pdf) and are updated irregularly, but usually about three times a year.
