Description¶

The article proposes a pedagogical framework that connects flipped preparation, exemplar reference, GenAI-assisted visual exploration, and studio-based refinement in a practice-based design course. Rather than treating flipped learning and GenAI as separate innovations, the design "assigned them complementary roles: preparing, calibrating, exploring, making, and refining". Pre-class videos and readiness checks support preparation, the gallery provides feasible examples, the GenAI module supports early visual exploration, and instructor feedback with hands-on studio practice supports feasibility judgement and material realization. The authors state the framework helps explain why outcome differences appeared most clearly in creativity, design skills, and problem solving.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Pre-class activities must be structured and connected to in-class work rather than optional content delivery
GenAI-supported visual prototyping must be connected to clear criteria, reflective comparison, and subsequent physical making

Constraints¶

GenAI outputs cannot reliably represent executable knitting instructions or physically feasible textile outcomes
Empirical support is from one small historical-cohort course implementation

Target Learners¶

third-year undergraduate design students

Learning Goals¶

knit yarn design combining visual ideation, material experimentation, and technical development
