Creative Worthwhile Interaction Design
Gilbert Cockton (Northumbria University, UK)
An introduction with practical exercises to dynamically balancing user-focused activities with strategic creative opportunities, integrated via a generous focus on worthwhile experiences and outcomes, and underpinned by systematic critical reflection.
All the tutorials will be held together with the workshops and the doctoral consortium, on the premises of Aalto University’s ARTS school. The venue is located at Arabia, Helsinki, in an old factory building which was refurbished in 1986 and has since been the home of university-level art and design education. We will arrange bus transportation from the city center to the workshops venue and back.
The details of the schedule and transportation are provided on the pre-conference program page.
You can register for the tutorials at the same time as registering for the main conference. See Registration page for more information.
