DM2570 Content and Expression in Media 9.0 credits

The course is heavily project- and problem-oriented in its pedagogical approach. The course takes place in conjunction with business and educators, researchers, graduate students and technical staff. The chosen topic of the year determines the other elements to be included in the course. Of great importance in the course is that students who have studied different specialisations are brought together again and can apply this knowledge in the field. The course will alternate with seminars, group tutorials, literature studies, field visits etc.

After the course the students will be able to:

• demonstrate detailed knowledge of the principles of  the structure and functionin of a media technicogical system

• analyze, compare and evaluate different aspects of complex media technology products or systems

• contribute to new knowledge in media technology through generalization, analysis and synthesis

• propose, explain and defend the design solutions for complex media technology products or systems

• actively be involved in change and development of media technology products or systems

• participate in and effectively manage large media projects in which different skills and interests are represented

• in dialogue with others make oral and written presentations and discuss conclusions to media technological problems and solutions in Swedish and English.

Eligible are those who have read the Media Technology program required courses and have completed at least one specialization.

To be announced at least 4 weeks before course start at course web page.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

In this course all the regulations of the code of honor at the School of Computer science and Communication apply, see: http://www.kth.se/csc/student/hederskodex/1.17237?l=en_UK.

The course will be examined mainly by

• oral and written presentations during the course race

• different types of prototypes, mock-ups, illustrations of the visions, scenarios, etc.

• a presentation of the project to a wider audience at the end of the course.

Depending on the topic of the year, other examination forms also occur.
