The primary aim of COLLABOR8© is to foster collaborative learning about design and design practice within a cross cultural framework.
Participating students are encouraged to express themselves in response to projects in the form of design briefs that offer opportunities to discuss and visualise their own experiences and culture.

The project has so far brought together design students from China and Australia in an experimental "deep" approach using simple web technologies and a student-centred, discovery mode of delivery.

The COLLABOR8 Project is instigated and facilitated by a dynamic team of design and education professionals...
