Abstract

INTRODUCTION: This article reflects on the experience of applying a Do It Yourself (DIY) approach in university teaching in a number of degrees offered by faculties of Fine Arts and Education. METHOD: Using the arguments that emerged in two discussion groups, the students explored meanings of learning through DIY by evaluating their progress in the subjects they studied and by reviewing, in retrospect, how they had benefitted from the experience of personally creating visual digital objects (VDOs). RESULTS and DISCUSSION: The text brings together the students’ views of the process of acquiring creative, digital, collaborative, communicative and self-reflective competences in this teaching and learning experience.
