Aim
After the course, the student will have good insights in current trends and novel research areas within interaction design. The aim is that the student will be able to become, and keep, up to date with ongoing research and develipment within the interaction design field. The actual course content will thus change from time to time.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
Knowledge and understanding
Get familiar with and get insights into current trends in interaction design.
Get familiar with and get insights into novel technological solutions relevant for interaction design.
Skills and abilitiesAnalyze, discuss and sketch
designs in relation to a certain trend.
Analyze, discuss and sketch the use of novel technical solutions.
Read, analyze and extract relevant content from academic literature.
Judgment and approachDiscuss societal and ethical consequences of a certain trend, design or technical solution.
Content
Current trends in interaction design.
Novel (emergent) technologies relevant for interaction design.
Different views and approaches in regard to novel trends and technologies.
Systematic and practical exploration and communication of ideas within a design space.
Reading and understanding of academic literature and search for the current state of the art and practice presented on the web and in the media.
Organisation
The course is held in English. It consists of lectures, group work and seminars, where students are expected to participate actively. It contains a mandatory, individual design project that runs throughout the course.
