- understand and critically discuss different approaches to media informatics design
- understand the key debates within the relevant academic communities about different approaches
- identify the strengths, weaknesses and theoretical alignments of different approaches
- be able to make principled choices matching methods and theories and approaches to contexts.
A focus area for 2019SS will be human-centred perspectives of robots and older care, or youth and self care. The choice of exact focus will be up to the student. Other topic options may also be discussed.
