Learning design for short-duration e-textile workshops: outcomes on knowledge and skills by Ioannou, Andri, Miliou, Ourania, Georgiou, Yiannis, Timotheou, Stella, Barkhuus, Louise, Rode, Jennifer

“…Despite the promising findings by primarily long-term interventions structured around e-textiles, educational curriculum reform has been slow to materialize. Educators who embrace a STEAM philosophy are more likely to endorse short workshops, integrating them in existing courses or initiatives; this could serve as a steppingstone for longer interventions and bottom-up curriculum reform. …”
