| Formelle forudsætninger: | Interaction Design (DDK) or Introduction to Interaction Design (DMD) |
| Læringsmål: | Students should be able to:
* Demonstrate competency in prototyping interaction and sketching with code and hardware.
* Articulate the development and maturation of their designerly practice
* Compare and contrast different interaction techniques, paradigms and technologies |
| Fagligt indhold: | Through a designerly practice and in the Bauhaus tradition, we will engage with the basic elements of interaction design - code, electronics and materials - in order to bring to life interactive prototypes and sketches. Through exploration and mastery of materials and tools, we will explore notions of interaction qualities, opening discussions on interaction design research topics and relating design work to contemporary interactive artifacts.
Various topical interaction design themes will be covered in conjunction with particular technologies and materials. |
| Læringsaktiviteter: | 14 ugers undervisning bestående af forelæsninger og øvelser Learning about the material and techniques of interaction through hands-on workshops and engagement. Numerous small interactive artifacts will be created throughout the semester, demonstrated and critiqued.
An individual reflective journal is kept throughout the semester and handed in at the end of the semester as documentation of reflective, hands-on engagement. This is the individual report part of the assessment. Feedback on the report will be provided at several points during the semester.
Students will be expected to follow a set of web-based programming tutorials outside of class time. No prior programming experience is expected, but an attitude of wanting to engage and learn is essential. |
