CONTINUAL MAKER-BASED (CoMB) PROJECT FOR
PRACTICE-LED ASSESSMENT IN INDUSTRIAL
DESIGN MODEL MAKING SUBJECT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE

The online teaching approach in higher learning education has received an active scale application 1. To investigate the challenges
amongst universities during the unprecedented event of the Covid19 pandemic in 2020. Despite its incorporating a new norm of e-
broad application in various kinds of subjects, online teaching seems to be a major obstacle for the learning on a practical based subject
industrial design model making subjects that require hands-on experience learning. Therefore, due for design students.
to the challenges experienced by both lecturers & students such as face-to-face monitoring, hands-
on skill development, unconducive fabrication tools/workspace & limited resource of material, this 2. To discover how the continual
study reports the attempt of a new norm of e-learning through the application of continual maker- maker-based (CoMB) project

was conducted in an industrial design model making subject with 42 students for one semester at learning with novice students in
the instant of time the pandemic took place. The continual maker-based (CoMB) project is designed making design models with online

experience in fabrication skill. Subsequently, their ability of visual information processing and 3. To analyze the effectiveness of

based (CoMB) projects that are oriented by sequel processes. Lastly, this is to help the lecturers to
conduct an online practice-led assessment that is so different from normal tangible assessment in RECOGNITION
a workshop. In summary, the results of the practice-led assessment approach are much practical to
be evaluated to facilitate the crucial evaluation of the psychomotor domain on every student’s skill To be the first module in Malaysia that

COMMERCIALIZATION POTENTIAL and promote the creative method of
practice-led project assessment.
A new approach of the CoMB assessment method for industrial design courses that contribute to the
crucial evaluation of the psychomotor domain.

VALUE ADDED. Although many obstacles to access the physical technology for fabrication, the new approach of CoMB will strongly support

the dynamic industrial design pedagogy that is linked with the advent of online teaching and learning tools and platform.

USEFULNESS. Industrial design must able to comply with dynamic teaching method. Psychomotor skill is among the main important domain

to be evaluated along with cognitive proficiency. CoMB project is to embrace the changes and to facilitate the educator for effective online
practice-led assessment.
