About the course
The creation of prototypes, the expression of design ideas, or the visualisation of information and other technological skills are relevant not only for designers but contemporary professionals in various fields (designers, artists, architects, engineers amongst others).
In this course students are encouraged to engage with new technologies and recent development within the field of interaction design. The individual aim may be to further advance previous understanding of the field, explore new dimensions of it or to use such technologies in a new empirical setting.
The course offers an introduction to different techniques and tools through workshops and seminars and students may explore in-depth one or more technology/ies that interest them to work with.
Students will work in formulating their own personal project and learning goals and with the help of supervisors work towards the production of an exhibition piece/artifact and a ‘reflection in action document’.

Course evaluation
Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
