Digital technology integration in fashion education
As digital skills become increasingly important in the fashion industry, the integration of digital technologies into fashion education is becoming more important.

This qualitative study explored how geographic location influences the integration of digital …
Game-Based Learning in Graphic Design Education
This study explored game-based learning structured with design-led workshop activities to augment 75 third-year undergraduate graphic design students’ learning about climate change and environmental sustainability matters in a Ghanaian university. The aim was to motivate them to understand the role that design and designers can play in addressing climate change to promote environmental sustainability.

It was discovered that the key challenges to sustainable practices were a lack of sustainability education, sustainability practice guidelines, and the improper disposal of waste chemicals. Other significant problems were air pollution, a lack of eco-papers and inks, poor gate-keeping of design c…
