The module takes place from March 30 - May 7, over 6 weeks, online, from Tuesday to Friday each week, 9.00-17.00 - see detailed hours in calendar below.
Class sessions include lectures, discussions, mentoring sessions, in-class exercises, home assignments and independent study blocks.
The studio course runs in parallel with the seminar course "Interaction Design Methods" and is a platform to apply ideas and concepts discussed in the seminar, therefore the two courses are actually an ensemble.
Projects are conducted in groups of 4 students. 

...

The course IAD Design Methods provides the background literature for this class.
Additional readings can be provided as the class progresses.
