Research summary
AI-generated

Elizabeth Boling studies how people learn to design, with a particular focus on instructional design (the practice of creating educational materials and experiences) and design education more broadly. Her recent work examines how designers develop judgment, use prior examples ('precedent knowledge') to make decisions, define failure in their work, and how design studios function as teaching environments. She also investigates how people design effectively even without formal training.
