With the rise, in recent years, of user-generated content and openly available knowledge, many design tools and methods on sustainability and Circular Economy have been developed and self-published online by practitioners and educators. In addition, there are many resources (e.g. policies, reports, tools, etc.) published by non- and intra- governmental organisations with the purpose of promoting sustainable practices and facilitating education for sustainability. While the number of openly available resources rises, these resources often remain out of sight due to the lack of proper documentation and indexing. As part of Circular Design: Learning for Innovative Design for Sustainability (L4IDS) Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance project, universities, SMEs and design centres from four European regions (i.e. Ireland, Catalunya, the Netherlands and Sweden) have collaborated to develop an Open Educational Resource (OER) Database. This database serves to document and categorise readily-available resources to address this gap. The purpose of the database is to act as a bridge between online resources and practitioners, design educators and researchers, enabling them to find and utilise available tools and methods for both educational and practitioner purposes. For this purpose, the team initially conducted desk research to find available resources online. A categorisation strategy was suggested based on the other outcomes of the project (i.e. Circular Design Internships for undergraduate students and Professional Development Courses for professionals). The list of resources was then added to, and the categorisations revised, based on feedback and input from the entire project team. OERs were categorised under four main themes - (1) First-timers, (2) Practitioners, (3) Businesses, Services and Policies, and (4) Design Education – and 16 sub-themes. The database was then incorporated and trialled through four consecutive Circular Design Internships in partner countries as well as through the Professional Development Course conducted in Ireland revealing the strengths as well as limitations of the database in undergraduate design education, professional development and self-learning. This paper presents the development process of the OER Database and its implementation in two different learning programmes. In addition, several gaps in readily- available online resources were identified to promote the future development of freely accessible educational materials by design educators in Europe and beyond. The OER database has the potential to contribute to the dissemination of accessible, readily-available educational tools for sustainability and Circular Economy, and to facilitate collaboration among design educators through open knowledge sharing.

Learning resources for sustainable design in engineering education
Segalas Coral, Jordi; De Eyto, Adam; Mcmahon, Muireann; Bakırlıoğlu, Yekta; Joore, Peter; Jimenez, Alex; Tejedor Papell, Gemma; Lazzarini, Boris; Crul, Marcel; Çelik, Sine; Martens, Jonas; Wever, Renee (2020-09-24)
This paper presents the results of the Circular Design Project, European project funded by Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance within the social business and the educational innovation field. The project have three major learning objectives: to increase and improve the learning strategies of Design for Sustainability; To gather and cluster open educational resources in Innovative Design for Sustainability; To train up innovative and entrepreneurial designers in Design for Sustainability. This was achieved through a...
Sustainability as an Educational Concern: A Study on Industrial Design Curricula
Turhan, Senem (null; 2009-04-09)
With the emergence of sustainability, it became an important concern for curricula of industrial design education as for many other educational structures. Currently, lots of higher education institutions offer courses focusing on sustainability for various objectives. This study deals with the current situation of industrial design education in the world by means of sustainability as an educational concern. It starts with the examination of a variety of sustainable development definitions and continues wi...
Transforming and prolonging design lifespans: design education cases for sustainability
Doğan, Çağla (2017-11-10)
This paper aims to present an approach focusing on design education for sustainability through providing two exemplary cases from third-year industrial design projects. The main themes explored in these projects involve personalization via design transformation, adaption and upgrading during design, use and post-use phases. The first project developed and facilitated at Carleton University, the School of Industrial Design mainly addresses the key theme of transformation of LED lighting from indoors to outdo...
An examination of presage, process and product dimensions in massive open online courses
Çelik, Berkan; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2020-10-26)
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have made a great progress around the world in the recent years. Bilgeİş Online Learning Portal (bilgeis.net) is one of the most comprehensive MOOC portals providing pdMOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses for Professional Development) for any learner who would like to enroll in an online course in Turkey. This study provides overall understanding and exploration of presage, process, and product variables and the relationships between these variables using a variety of data ...
The role of space in interdisciplinary collaboration in design education
Kaygan, Pınar; Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur (2018-09-01)
The growing interest in the collaborative design education for innovation has mainly been concerned with students and learning outcomes. We know less about the collaboration between the tutors who teach interdisciplinary design courses. Addressing this gap, this article explores the effect of space on the interdisciplinary collaboration between faculty members from the fields of industrial design, architecture, engineering and business administration, who come together to design and conduct an extra-curricu...
