As digital tools massively took over our lives during the COVID-19 lockdowns, including in teaching and learning environments, and as today AI aggressively enters these realms too, this year, the course took a radical offline, full-on analogue, hands-on approach inspired by students!Taking this approach highlighted the value of the analogue thinking space, which gave students the time to process their thoughts, to think thoroughly about the information they wanted to communicate, and to find creative ways to communicate such thoughts in paper boards and with all sorts of drawing materials. This approach was also explored by one of our guest speakers, Ruchira Liyanage, who, instead of standing in front of the class to give a lecture, made us investigate the case of GotaGoGama from Sri Lanka and, ourselves present the case in four stages creating our own analogue presenting boards (no power point presentations!).
