| summary |
Phase(x) was a successful teaching experiment we made in
our entry level CAAD course in the Wintersemester 1996/97.
The course was entirely organized by means of a central
database that managed all the students' works through
different learning phases. This setup allowed that the results
of one phase and one author be taken as the starting point
for the work in the next phase by a different author. As
students could choose which model they wanted to work
with, the whole of Phase(x) could be viewed as an organism
where, as in a genetic system, only the "fittest" works
survived. While some discussion of the technical set-up is necessary
as a background, the main topics addressed in this paper will
be the structuring in phases of the course, the experiences
we had with collective authorship, and the observations we
made about the memes hat developed and spread in
the students' works. Finally we'll draw some conclusions in
how far Phase(x) is relevant also in a larger context, that is
not limited to teaching CAAD. |
