Launching An Open Educational Resource (OER) on Teaching More-than-Human Perspectives in Technology Design
The MOVA OER presents a collection of 19 teaching activities designed for educators in technology design in higher education to support their students as they embark on the journey into the world of more-than-human design.
Teaching activities
The teaching activities address the relational turn in participatory design, where the development of new technologies is grounded in care for the entanglements between humans and the ecosystems they inhabit.
The teaching activities are structured along a framework of four dimensions:
1. Introduction, 2. Assemblage, 3. Constituency, and 4. Application.
The teaching activities have been tested by 800 students across universities in seven countries. The OER encourages designers to foster respectful and responsible relationships between humans and more-than-humans.
Collaboration
The MOVA OER was developed through a collaboration between Malmö University, Aarhus University, and Eindhoven University of Technology.
Funding
The project was co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
