As more universities offer online alternatives to existing creative subjects, more students are at risk of disconnection with their learning and their peers due to the constraints placed through online environments on their communication and collaboration. This paper examines the use of a Discord server in a design unit to create an informal forum of communication for both online and in-person students, as well as an environment for online studio activities. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is used to gain insight into the interactions occurring on the Discord server, recognizing its role as both a collaborative platform and communication device. The students’ interactions demonstrated a notable willingness to take ownership of the server and their own learning, showcasing the characteristics typical of a community of practice. Furthermore, students were open to engaging with each other outside of the structured education context, seeking organic and personal connection.
