Course content

This course provides the opportunity to study an individually tailored topic in interaction design at a high scientific level. The course contents can be discussed in advance, and will be within current research in interaction design. Preferably either a research project or an extended literature review that should result in a draft article that can be published. If you need an introduction to interaction design you should rather take courses in human computer interaction and user-centered design at master level.

Learning methods and activities
