About the Communication Design Educators Network

The Communication Design Educators Network (CDEN) connects design educators from tertiary institutions across Australia and is concerned with how we educate designers for the future. The CDEN seeks to further design education by activating thinking and critical debate, developing, sharing and cultivating independent and collaborative research, pedagogy and scholarship, and to advocate for excellence in design education and practice.

Areas of interest span teaching and learning, research in/through/by design, undergraduate and postgraduate education, research education, design practice and service.

Contributions on the following topics are encouraged from design educators at any stage of their career: curriculum innovation and development, modes of learning, methodologies and methods, design theory and criticism, design pedagogy, emerging technologies and design, social and cultural roles of design and designers, accreditation, the future of work and the profession, and the value of design education to the economy and the wider profession. News and information about events related to the above are also welcome.
