week 8: re-thinking plastic
This week’s theme posed an extremely thought-provoking and challenging question: is it time to fall in love with plastic again? As an environmentally conscious designer, plastic and its implications on our environment are something that I have personally spent a lot of time researching. So to me, in a world increasingly aware of its environmental impact, […]

Academic misconduct: Moral panics and academic arms races
Neil Lent* It can be argued that in the last few years we have seen a few moral panics centred on perceived opportunities for academic misconduct by students. These panics include the use of essay mills for contract cheating, the change to remote assessment due to the pandemic, and, now, the use of technology such […]
week4 — Seminar Review➕ Project proposal workshop
Seminar Review In the fourth week of the course on the ethics of artistic research, we explored cases about some of the literature, for example, in the reference video that I made in preparation for the class, a question kept circling my mind: does artistic creation actually need to be bound by social ethics? Or […]
グループ６一年生の学園祭
学園祭の準備として、私たちは日本からの交換留学生にインタビューを行い、日本の大学の学園祭や日本文化の保存に対する彼らの考えについてさらに詳しく知りました。 話し合いの結果、私たちのグループはフェイスペイントをしてと「偽の」神社を建てることにしました。私たちはまず、日本の神社や寺院で行われる日本の占い方法であるおみくじについて調査しました。できるだけリアルに、おみくじを大吉、吉、中吉、小吉、末吉、凶、大凶次のように分類することにしました。 おみくじは、その人の希望が叶う可能性、良縁を見つける可能性、あるいは一般的には健康、幸運、人生などのことを予測します。だからあらゆる種類のことを占う特別なおみくを置きました。中国や日本の詩人の詩もあります。この特別なくじを引いた人はそれを持ち帰ることができます。 他のグループの内容もとても面白いでした。ドアの近くのグループは弓道チャレンジでした。 成功のために全身のバランスと絶妙なコントロールが必要でした、だからあれはとても難しいでした。その次はゲーム部、ブラックジャックとマリオカートができて大人気がある場所でした。クイズをしてるグループも日本と関係ある質問がたくさん準備しました。音楽と歴史の質問もありました。日本地図クイズの商品はなんと手作りケーキでした。美味しそう！最後はチェス対戦、脳細胞を鍛錬できるいいチャンスでした。素晴らしい活動でしたね！ This year’s Gakuensai is very exciting, for preparation for the Gakuensai, we did interviews with exchange students from Japan and get to know a lot more about Gakunensai in Japanese Universities and what they think of preserving Japanese culture. After discussion, our group decided on doing face paint and […]

We have been working on the development of the first phase of the future state for […]

Diving in at the deep end: Usability testing on my second day in the team
https://blogs.ed.ac.uk/future-student-experience/diving-in-usability-testing/
I joined the Prospective Student Web Content Team in September 2023, and immediately headed out on campus with everyone to conduct usability testing with new students. It was a great way to immerse myself in the Team’s user-centred approach and learn about a technique that should be part of every content designer’s skill set. My […]

Assisted Dying, what are the issues and options for Scotland?
By Dr Iain C Kerr IntroductionMy interest in death (which was a matter of great concern to the medical director of my Local Health Care Co-operative when it became clear that I was sympathetic to suicide in certain circumstances) began in the early 1970s, after I read of the works of two pioneers in the […]
