The module focuses on training the student’s competence in user-driven design of content and structure in all kinds of information systems, irrespective of media, with a special focus on combining different cultural codes and media modalities in the practical reality. The main component of the module is a three-to-four-month project-oriented work placement. In a relevant company, organisation or institution, the student solves one or more issues on the basis of information architecture.
The purpose is for students to develop a knowledge and
understanding of the concrete work reality that this programme is
directed towards.
The module is evaluated through an individual oral test, which
takes the three reflection reports as its point of departure.
