This study investigates the integration of online design platforms into undergraduate graphic design education, with the goal of enhancing students’digital media design competencies and creative thinking skills. Addressing key challenges in traditional design instruction—such as high technical barriers, inconsistent learning progress, and diminished student motivation—the course was designed around the principles of Project-Based Learning (PjBL), incorporating an accessible online platform and authentic commercial scenarios to bridge theory and practice. Employing an action research methodology, the study followed a cyclical process of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Multiple data sources, including classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and analyses of student design outcomes, were used to assess both instructional effectiveness and learning trajectories. The findings demonstrate that the use of online design tools significantly lowers technical thresholds, enhances learner engagement, stimulates creative output, and supports the development of visual literacy and problem-solving abilities. This research contributes to the field by proposing a pedagogical framework that supports the digital transformation of design education through the integration of practical tools and learner-centered strategies. |
