Three workshops, coordinated by Carl Steinitz, Michele Campagna, and Hrishi Ballal and using Geodesignhub software were run in June 2020 involving about 90 experienced and early career academic educators from 5 continents. The workshops were proven successful in addressing the studio teaching challenge and many of the attendees declared they will be using the workflow experienced in the workshop in their future teaching. The initiative represents a novel experimental teaching approach which was tested, adjusted and fine tuned according to the contextual working conditions during the event.
