Abstract

Online design education, started with the establishment of cyber universities in Korea in 2001, has been operated with the development of online classes for various subjects until present and is predicted to be expanded both quantitatively and qualitatively as the concept of remote education is gradually generalized along with the growth of cyber universities and the development of digital technologies. However, regardless of such quantitative growth and possibility of development, the current online design classes are operating curriculum that is not much different from that of design department at the existing offline universities, while the concepts and roles of design and designer are changing according to the stream of digital times. Moreover, although complex elements are required to be considered since online design education is influenced by digital technological trend as being a form in which digital technology, contents, and design are all combined and advantages and features of online are required to be reflected to the maximum, the reality is different from what has been expected due to many circumstances. Online design education needs to be changed in accordance with the stream of digital times and new online design curriculum suitable for the current of future digital times and online environment are required to be developed and prepared at this moment. Accordingly, this research aims to look into the concepts and roles of design and designer changing in accordance with the stream of digital times by researching the existing literatures as well as the advantages and features of online class and to analyze the current state of curriculum of digital design and related departments at cyber universities in Korea to suggest an improvement direction of curriculum of online design class suitable for the future digital times.

2001년 국내 사이버대학의 출범과 함께 시작된 온라인 디자인 교육은 현재까지 다양한 과목의 온라인 수업이 개발되어 운영되고 있으며 디지털기술의 발전 및 사이버대학 성장과 함께 원격교육 개념이 점차 보편화되면서 앞으로도 양적, 질적 확장이 계속될 전망이다. 하지만 이와 같은 양적 성장과 발전가능성에도 불구하고 현재 온라인 디자인 수업은 디지털 시대적 흐름에 따라 디자인과 디자이너의 개념 및 역할이 바뀌어 가고 있는 상황에도 여전히 기존 오프라인 대학 디자인학과와 크게 다르지 않은 교육과정을 운영하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 온라인 디자인 교육은 디지털기술과 콘텐츠 그리고 디자인이 합쳐진 형태로 디지털 기술 트렌드에 따라 영향을 받는 등 복합적인 요인들을 고려해야 하며 사이버 교육이니 만큼 온라인의 장점 및 특성을 최대한 반영하여 진행해야 함에도 현실은 여러 여건상 그렇지 못하고 있다. 디지털 시대의 흐름에 따라 이제 온라인 디자인 교육도 변해야 하고 향후 미래 디지털 시대 흐름과 온라인 환경에 적합한 새로운 온라인 디자인 교육과정의 개발 및 준비가 필요한 시점이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 문헌 연구를 통해 디지털 시대의 흐름에 따라 변화하는 디자인과 디자이너의 개념 및 역할과 온라인 수업의 특징에 대하여 살펴본 후 국내 사이버대학 디지털디자인 관련학과 교육과정 현황 분석을 통해 향후 디지털시대에 적합한 온라인 디자인 수업 교육과정의 개선방향에 대해 제안하고자 한다.
