eddit - Education Design Interaction Technology
Eddit is an online companion tool for creatives designed to replace linear, text-heavy learning management system (LMS) interfaces. Eddit splices together 2D & 3D aspects of studio culture, learning, and sharing within the framework of a digital portfolio.
Built as a series of nestable modules endlessly reconfigurable, the design is adaptive and pays heed to important aspects of visual culture and visual literacy to support learning in a variety of creative environments. It also integrates social tools for students to engage in a technology-supported community of practice.

The “EdTech” menu represents this journey broken down in phases, linked to different stages or nodes of the design process.
- Research + Constrain
- Ideate + Conceptualize
- Select + Design + Verify
In each phase, one class aligns with a process stage in the design process model provided.
Designerly Methods
The appropriate methods in each culture are:
- in the sciences: controlled experiment, classification, analysis
- in the humanities: analogy, metaphor, evaluation
- in design: modelling, pattern-formation, synthesis
