摘要：VANT 150 is a first-year course in design and sustainability for international students enrolled in the Vantage One program at UBC. One of its learning outcomes is to understand the importance of communication between different stakeholders in the design process. The 2016 final exam revealed that students had difficulties understanding the positions of the designer, client and user as stakeholders. A simulation (roleplaying) exercise was implemented in 2017 in order to help students better understand these roles and raise awareness about the importance of communication between them. The 2016 and 2017 final exams included a question to differentiate stakeholder roles. We found that the average score in this question was 8% higher in 2017 than in 2016. This difference is statistically significant with p < 0.005. This suggests the stakeholder simulation activity helped our students better understand these concepts.
