The Project section (Part 2) - working in teams. The Project section includes a service design project based on a real-life design challenge. We will work in the virtual learning environment Canvas. Project will be carried out in learning teams including kick off, project guidance sessions, pitching session and returning the final portfolio and learning document. The learning teams will work both in the project guidance sessions and between the guidance sessions.
