The Department of Design ISI Yogyakarta and Hochschule Hannover University of Applied Science organized the Design Thinking Workshop 2022 for 3 days, from 23-25 May 2022. This workshop is a routine activity that is held annually which began in 2015. Every year, 25 Hochschule Hannover students come to ISI Yogyakarta to conduct workshops with 25 ISI Yogyakarta students from various study programs. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of this workshop, students are encouraged to work together in teams with diverse members. Some of the students who joined were from the Interior Design, Product Design, Visual Communication Design, and Art Craft Department of ISI Yogyakarta.
The pandemic situation forced workshops that are usually held offline at ISI Yogyakarta to be held in a hybrid manner, a combination of offline and online. 25 ISI Yogyakarta students conducted workshops from inside the classroom, but remained connected through the zoom platform with 25 students from Hochschule Hannover. It was a challenge to conduct the workshop through online media. Moreover, the basic characteristic of this workshop is to work together and discuss to formulate problems and generate innovative ideas.
However, this is an opportunity for students to use technology to support working in a team with various dynamics. Various applications were used instead of whiteboards, post-its, and sketches that are often used during their work as aspiring designers. Despite the challenges, it can be proven that working in a team using online media is a new way that can be used in the design process.
