Abstract
This paper describes a usability study of CAD for teaching and learning clothing thermal computational design (CTCD) for university students of fashion and textiles. The CAD helps students to learn the clothing thermal computational design through computational design simulations (CD-Sims). The pedagogical strategies of employing CAD, and learning process and pedagogical implementation of CD-Sims are discussed. In addition, a user study employing the CD-Sims with CAD indicated that they enhanced students’ learning outcomes on pre-test and post-test clothing thermal computational design scores.
