Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Editor's Notes
NAT: Need intro slide – so I can say hello and thank sponsors, etc – maybe a picture of HASTAC Conference Theme
EDYTA: Can you create this once I get email response from connie
Thank you Cathy Davidson and David Goldberg for putting together such a wonderful conference
…….
I want to say, again, how thrilled I am to be here and how incredibly appropriate it is that HASTAC’s 6th annual conference is in Peru and is international in focus.
This is true for many reasons, let me highlight two:
the 21st century is a fascinating time.
It is a time of massive change and shifts. My colleague and mentor, — John Seely Brown (former head of Xerox Parc), whom some of you may know — often refers to this as a Cambrian moment…
These shifts are happening at both the local and global level in ways we’ve never experienced before
In part, because we now live in a massively connected world :
And, of course, we are seeing the implications of this connected world play out everywhere –
From the connections of massive data sets; to crowdsourcing complex problems; participation in social networks and online games;
But the the world of education is really struggling to understand its role in this connected world, what it should like
--- More than anything -- I would argue that a connected world needs connected learning
Connected Learning is an approach to learning that many of us here have been working on, writing about, designing and implementing for the last ten years.
And it is very much at the heart of the $150 million Digital Media and Learning Initiative that I oversee at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
Today, I want to talk about connected learning in the context of a connected world.
And try to think through – with you all – its insights for higher education and its need for the humanities; what it means in a global context;
Let me start by saying just a few things about connected learning
Part of what is so exciting about living in a connected world is the massive number of connections that exist within and across networks.
We now live in a world that is more like a matrix, where people change jobs regularly, new information is being produced at an extraordinary pace.
Rare is the individual who sets out on a life path, enters a single job and stays for a lifetime.
And yet, unfortunately -- our current educational system is designed to accommodate such a singular path – our educational systems are not designed for a networked, connected world.
In fact, much of the current 19th and 20th century design of our education system – where learning happens only within a school building; during certain times of the day; and only between a teacher and a large number of students; and success is determined by standardized tests –
Misses much of what is relevant and meaningful in the learners life. And it fails to connect the extraordinary resources in the world beyond the school and beyond a singular pathway
Connected Learning – instead – seeks to introduce a pedagogy and a digital infrastructure that connects the world in a way that is relevant and meaningful to the learner
How does it do this? First, by understanding the categories and contexts that are relevant to the learning and building connections rather than silos.
From connecting interests to academics, in school to out of school/ online and out offline. Self and peer
NAT – CAN YOU MAKE THE CircLES A LITTLE MORE PROMINENT AND CHANGE ACADEMIC TO OPPORTUNITIES
CAN YOU MAKE THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS SLIDES (THE WORDS INSIDE THE CIRCLES) – USE APPS, WEBSITES, CIVIC INSTITUTIONS
RATHER THAN LEARNING LABS, HIVE LEARNING NETWORKS, LINKED LEARNING DEEPER LEARNING (THESE CAN BE REPLACED – FOLKS HERE WON’T KNOW WHAT THESE ARE – NEED TO BE MORE GENERIC)
PLEASE KEEP EMPLOYERS, HIGHER EDUCATION, MENTORS,
__________________
It does so through attending to pedagogy– the significance of pedagogy is important. in the 21st century pedagogy matters because the context of learning matters. Some of the core design principles of the pedagogy of connected learning are the following – and I will list these – but as you see on the slide they are not represented in a bulleted list but rather in an integrative format. At some point we will get to a dynamic depiction. In the 21st century – design of learning and pedagogy is dynamic and responsive to the learners
The pedgagoy of connected learning has a specific set of design principles.
First, connected learning brings together the three spheres of
Second, it requires peer-to-participation among peers with a shared purpose.
Third – it is focused on production. On the learner as a maker and producer
And finally – it is openly networked in ways that connect shared interests with relevant opportunities – there has to be a payoff to getting better at something
Wwe
Whenever I talk about connected learning – the first response I hear back is – BUT – what about content?
My response is always – yes – Content. Content is extremely important – student knowledge and understanding of content is critical – but not as an outcome – not as something consumable -- rather, in terms of how it relates to a context or a problem.
Here is what we know from all our research – meaningful learning– content then becomes the context for participation in this experience. Its not the end point – its what is learned along the way– as part of the experience.
At this point in a talk I can go in any number of directions, depending on the audience and the context, because connected learning has significant implications for thinking about assessments and alternative credentials, the role of the adult, institutions such as libraries and museums. And I’m happy to talk about any of these
But there are three things I want to turn to now – global learning, higher education and the humanities
What does connected learning look like in Action?
Let me give you three examples:
[NEED A SLIDE]
It looks like Libraries that have become Make spaces – where young people use the content of the library, music collections, books, and remix them into projects that have meaning have for their own lives and community
[NEED A SLIDE]
It looks like a school whose pedagogy is designed based on games rather than standard curriculum – Quest to learn school in New York City
[NEED A SLIDE]
And it looks like a City – like Chicago – that has connected all of its learning opportunities thru digital badges
These are signs of dramatically changing approaches to learning

And it looks like a City – like Chicago – that has connected all of its learning opportunities thru digital badges
These are signs of dramatically changing approaches to learning
But I want to push on this a little bit more and ask – what does connected learning mean for higher education?
I’m going to start with higher education – because I am very worried about higher education. My concern, in part, is the distraction of MOOCs. In k-12 education, there is the distraction of Kahn Academy. Its much worse in high education with MOOCs.
This may or not be provocative thing to say. Putting bad pedagogy online has never been the answer to a learning problem.
What MOOCs tell us – and its an important thing to know – is that there is incredible demand for learning
But in the context of innovation – it is incredibly important to ask the right question. I would suggest that the question we are not trying to solve is how to get 100,000s of students to sign up for a course and then dropout. We’ve already solved the 5% retention goal
I would argue that there is a much more important question to ask - -and it’s the question at the heart of Connected Learning
I worry about the disconnect between how students learn and interact outside of the classroom and how they are expected to learn in the classroom.
These are things you all know – and they come straight from the connected learning design principles
Classrooms are still setup in broadcast mode; yet we know that in the rest of their world young people are engaged in peer-to-peer communication;
When its around a shared interest with opportunities for payoff, learning, time on task sky rocket
In the academic world, we are still waging wars on plagarism -- In the academic world, we still expect “original work” that is done by the individual.
We know that in the digital and connected world – creativity and making are about remix and collaboration.
And we know that the work worlds we hope to send these kids out to – rely on passion, interest, ability to work in peer groups
So not only are we not organized in a way that fits what they are used to and what they consider relevant and meaningful –we also aren’t preparing them for the future work world
This is troubling
We can focus our attention on MOOCs for as long as we want – it won’t solve or address these issues

this brings me to the second topic – the humanities and the digital humanities
I want to make two strong statements or claims:
Higher education needs the humanities to transform successfully in the 21st century
AND
Connected Learning needs the humanities
3 key reasons for this
The transformation in learning in the 21st century is fundamentally about pedagogy
-- a shift to peer-to-peer participation around a shared interest or passion
-- what areas in higher education most know how to engage students as peers; to support them in critique and review; in peer-to-peer interaction?
-- at the core of learning is making and creating and performing : again, what who has that pedagogical expertise
-- sharing those products to larger networks, through performance or to the public – making the work available for feedback and critique (not from the vaunted expert or teacher) – but more broadly – again – where does that happen?
2. Second reason – 21st century learning requires new narratives and new paradigms. We learn through metaphor and narratives. Whether its in the sciences, technology, medicine, philosophy – this is a time of being overwhelmed with an abundance of new information. New categories and boundaries are being broken down. As a society we are desperate to make sense of these changes – to have metaphors and ways of holding this new knowledge that enables us to interact with it in the world.
-- Its nice to have all this new data – but if we can’t make sense of it; place it in a broader narrative context; connect it to a metaphor; we are pinballs moving from one data set to another. The humanities has to step in to what is now an empty space. Its in those narratives that we can find our passions and our shared interests. Its in those metaphors that we can connect our identities to the broader world and become makers and creators, and part of a community. These stories are critical to identity and to community and to shared purpose.
We need new narratives and metaphors to advance learning in the 21st century.
3. Third – and this transitions me into my last topic – and it’s a relatively new one for me

3. Third – and this transitions me into my last topic – and it’s a relatively new one for me
The significance of the global context for learning – and the importance of the humanities in defining global learning
Just as we need new narratives for how we understand information and data in our connected world – we need new narratives for understanding global education
In the US – there are two stories we tell ourselves about global education
1.
The first is that it is a competition – and btw – we are losing
NAT – CAN YOU CHANGE THE TITLE OF THIS TO : GLOBAL EDUCATION IS A COMPETITION
NAT – NEED A SLIDE HERE ABOUT HELPING
The second approach is that we are the experts and we are “helping” countries poorer than ourselves
one of a “more developed country” like the US helping an “underdeveloped” country.
A connected world – with a connected learning approach – however – may offer a third approach.
Missing from these two narratives – is one that describes the mission of global learning – or connected learning as – coming together to solve complex problems
And for youth to come together to solve complex problems that are locally relevant and globally connected
What has been wonderful to find out from our research with youth – when we talk with them about what interests them – and we’ve done this now with thousands of youth
NAT : can the title of this sllde be changed to “Shared Local Problems”
-- invariably we hear a variant on I want to make my community better
Could be about a mural on a local underpass, could be about clean water, could be simply violence in their neighborhods; could be a local garden
They may not be political active – but they certainly are aware of where they live and they would like to make it better
The other thing that has become increasingly interesting – through our work we have begun to work with youth in the Middle East and North Africa
-- that we do live in a global world – the issues that kids face in a local community in the US, have many of the same contours, properties and issues of those in a local community in Morroco or Qatar
-- I suspect as here in Peru or Latin Americasetsemer
Can we begin – with our large data emerg
Because it is clear – that the challenges we leaving for the next generation – we are leaving across the globe – and it will require the next generation to have the skills to engage with these problems at a local and global level
NAT – need to edit this:
INTERESTS : GLOBAL COMPETENCIES
PEER CULTURE: UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENCE
OPPORTUNITY: EMPLOYABLE SKILLS
SUB HEADS WITHIN THE CIRCLES
--- within the interests circle
Water sustainability; clean water, fashion, music
-- Understanding difference
… cities of learning, mentors
Opportunities
-- employable skills
-- community engagement
-- higher education
-- systems thinking
