November 15, 2011 Workshop: Designing Eating Events: Data Generation. As part of the Research Methods Module for the MA Design (50 students) I designed, organised, led and evaluated 2 workshops (1.5 hours each) for the MA students. The workshops were designed to 1) demonstrate to students methods of data generation in design research, by involving them as workshop participants, 2) generate design ideas for eating events as part of my PhD research, and 3) evaluate and demonstrate to student participants evaluation of such design research methods. This involved collaborating with the module leader, and briefing 2 members of the teaching team to successfully lead 2 workshops as well as providing all workshop materials.
