Course aims

The course aims to provide the skills necessary for analysing digital services that work across a broad range of devices. By participating in the course students will acquire hands-on experience of designing distributed interactions.

Brief description of the course

The course consists of the following modules:
• Mapping the avatar ecology of a digital service;
• Describing distributed interaction scenarios;
• Describing interactions in an artefact ecology with the distributed interaction design (DIxD) pattern language;
• Composing a design brief for a distributed service;
• Sketching distributed interactions.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- knows what service avatars are and how to map an avatar ecology;
- can describe distributed interaction scenarios;
- can describe distributed interactions by using design patterns;
- can compose design briefs;
- can sketch distributed interactions.
