Abstract
This paper discusses the practical implementation of Derek Pigrum's multi-mode model of transitional practices (2009) within the context of upper division production courses in an interaction design curriculum. The notion of teaching creativity was practically and theoretically connected to a general notion of “discursivity.” The concept of “discursivity” was related to students’ overall ability to discuss, describe, and engage in a conversation about their creative work. We present a study of (1)the ways in which Pigrum's (ibid) transitional modes can be translated into a variety of course activities, and (2) discuss challenges and outcomes of directly engaging student discursivity in their creative output.
