Overview
The upcoming move to Otaniemi from Arabia collects most of the Aalto ARTS workshops into new Väre campus building. The workshop floor will be the busy heart of many disciplines to meet and to work together and to see the ideas of others materializing. Aalto ARTS workshop inductions offer captivating and informative, media rich web based courses for introducing and using the numerous ARTS workshops like wood-, metal- and textile workshops or photography studio and many more.
Courses aim to:
- Increase user volume. The user has a good understanding of the function already when contacting staff.
- Improve user safety. One can see and hear working methods more clearly from well scripted and directed videos than in real life in a group. Videos also make it possible to rewind and replay.
- Enable new pedagogical methods for teaching in person. Flipped workshop in action.
- Improve the quality of learned skills. More time for teaching more advanced techniques is freed for use.
