Unraveling the Threads: Designing a Multiverse of Learning Through Interdisciplinary Co-Creation in Design Education
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper proposes a framework for reimagining design education as a "multiverse of learning" where students, educators, industry stakeholders, and communities co-create knowledge through intertwined experiences. It explores the roles of creators, connectors, and catalysts in this multiverse, offering a conceptual model for fostering creative collisions at the intersection of diverse disciplines. The paper also addresses critical tensions, such as ethical dilemmas, power imbalances, and the challenge of maintaining inclusivity in co-creative processes. Drawing on case studies, the paper illustrates how emerging technologies, like AI and collaborative virtual environments, can facilitate uncharted connections in design education. Finally, the paper envisions a future in which design graduates are equipped to navigate an unpredictable professional landscape by embracing co-creative problem-solving, lifelong learning, and adaptive expertise.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
