Læringsmål:After the course, the student should be able to:

B. Develop a project using interaction design method through:
• Carry out research: in order to put into perspective cultural challenges and who the audience/target is;
• Apply brainstorming and idea generation;
• Develop concepts;
• Develop prototypes (experience prototyping);
• Present final concepts with the use of narratives and scenarios.;
• Critically assess project process and results;
• Document and present the whole project process with the support of the literature seen in the course. 
Fagligt indhold:Interaction Design, What, when, how and why

Through insights of the topic as well as research and methods tools, the course will focus on broadening the perception of what Interaction Design means and where and how it is applied;

The students should expect to gain a historical and theoretical perspective within Interaction Design in order to be able to approach current and future challenges;

Technology should always serve us as a tool. It should improve our everyday by facilitation. It should not overrule the individual or his/her daily tasks. It should be intuitive; it should adapt and transform in a conscious and responsible approach. Innovation doesn’t necessarily mean something “new” in its source, sometimes it just means rearranging. By taking people and, consequently, social needs in consideration first, there are higher chances of a successful outcome as they become co-authors of the product and not only spectators.

In other words, this course will try to look at Interaction Design and evaluate its role in society, how it keeps influencing, altering and augmenting our lives. And how, you, as students, can expand your skills in order to create new, relevant and rewarding projects and experiences within the field. 
Læringsaktiviteter:14 ugers undervisning bestående af forelæsninger, øvelser og vejledning

14 weeks of teaching consisting of lectures blended with group exercises and projects' supervision.

It is expected that the students participate actively in the classes, projects and group work carried out throughout the course. The course also has a blog which is used as a place for discussion and opportunity for sharing relevant content related to the class.
