Course Content

This course will teach you how to organize info, set type, and consider layouts for screens, as well as the fundamentals of web-based development. You are also expected to leave the course with a basic understanding of css, html and novice javascript. Students are only expected to have a cursory knowledge of Arduino lang ( C/C++ ). That is — understanding how variables work, how to use operators, and simple conditionals.

Each week will include a combination of a lecture, group exercise, supplemental readings and/or homework. The ambitious topic of Designing for Screens will provide a fundamental knowledge base for the rest of your studies in Interaction Design.

By the end of the course, students should have furthered their understanding of the considerations appropriate to the practice of communication & interaction design, especially in the areas of emerging media.
