"Bibliocircuitry and the Design of the Alien Everyday"

Curatorial note from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: “Bibliocircuitry and the Design of the Alien Everyday” details student exploration of the concept of reflective design through projects that investigate the book as interface. This activity perfectly highlights the way that exposure to and emphasis on process leads to unforeseen insight. These student authors also emphasize that digital work requires consideration of hardware and physical and tactile design. Instructors inspired by this article might select a particular type of object and ask students to devise ways to alter or enhance users’ interaction with it. Students would demonstrate learning not only through their work in designing and redesigning objects but also through oral or written presentations of them (much as the student authors of this journal article have done)
