Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for
participation in the module
The module adds to the knowledge obtained in the 1st semester.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Explore the field of sonic interaction design with a focus on
one of the following applications: 1) Interactive product sound
design, 2) sonic interactions in arts, 3) interactive
sonification.
Perform an evaluation of the perceptual and/or cognitive aspects
of sonic interactions from a human centered perspective.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
Students who complete the module will gain knowledge as
follows:
- Must be able to understand the discipline of sonic interaction
design
- Must be able to understand action-perception relationships
within sonic interaction and sonification
- Must be able to understand principles of embodied music
perception, cognition and action
Skills
Students who complete the module will gain skills as
follows:
- Must be able to apply the acquired knowledge to the design of a
system where interactive sound plays a salient role, being either
in an artistic context, in the field of interactive product sound
design, or in the field of interactive sonification
- Must be able to apply knowledge in human sound perception and
cognition to the evaluation of the proposed solution
- Produce a project report according to norms of the area, take
into consideration relevant literature, apply correct terminology
and convey the research-based foundation, problem and results of
the project orally and in writing in a coherent manner, including
the relationship between the problem formulation, the project’s
realization and its conclusions
- Evaluate and select relevant literature, scientific methods and
models and other tools for application in the project work, and
evaluate the project’s problem area in a relevant scientific
context
Competences
Students who complete the module will gain competences as
follows:
- Must be able to evaluate the proposed application from a human
centered perspective, and synthesize it to produce new knowledge
and solutions
- Plan, execute and manage complex research and/or development
tasks, and assume a professional responsibility for carrying out,
potentially cross-disciplinary, collaborations
- Assume responsibility for own scientific development and
specialization
Type of instruction
Academically supervised student-governed problem oriented
project work.
