Læringsmål:	After the course the student should be able to: • plan exploratory design projects and perform user-oriented, grounded study of application contexts. • select, combine, apply and compare a number of theories and methods for idea generation, data collection, data analysis, design and evaluation of the relevance of the planning and execution of design projects. • present and prototype concepts (or part thereof) using appropriate materials, tools and techniques. • reflect on both practical and theoretical aspects of exploratory design processes.
Fagligt indhold:	The course prepares the student to plan and carry out exploratory design projects where a clear design problem is not well defined. The course is built around a design project where groups carry out a design process using a variety of theories and methods for idea generation, data collection, data analysis, design, prototyping and evaluation. As well as practical design work, lectures introduce a series of theories and methods to execute exploratory design projects and perform user-oriented studies of application contexts.
Læringsaktiviteter:	14 ugers undervisning bestående af forelæsninger, øvelser og vejledning • Lectures by instructors and guest lectures, where theories and methods are presented and discussed. • Group work on design project and related tasks. • Critique sessions with participation by peers and teaching staff. • Workshops on practical skills required for project development. In connection with the course, there is also the following assignments and presentations: • Each students participates in critique sessions during the project to present their progress • Each group will present their design project in the form of video, prototype and presentation. • Each group submits a report on their design project. ------------------------------------ Skemaoplysninger: Se hvordan undervisningen er tilrettelagt her: link til skemaoplysninger Skemaoplysningerne vil være tilgængelige fra kort før semesterstart. ---- Note: Course barring! Note that there is a lot of overlap between this course and the course “Introduction to Interaction Design”. This means that you cannot take this course if you have taken “Introduction to Interaction Design”.
