About the course
Aim
Upon completing the course, the student should at an advanced level be able to:
- apply basic concepts from distributed cognition to design thinking
- represent alternatives in a design space and reflect on the value of these representations in design
- use and develop tools and methods for representations and reflect on how the tools enable and limit design thinking
- reflect on how to systematically represent complex situations on a detailed as well as holistic level
Content
The course deals with methodological knowledge in design-oriented cognitive science with the following content:
- different roles that representations play in design
- use of various tools and methods to plan and apply these representations in a design process
- learning mechanisms through representations as well as the link between representations and the knowledge they offer
- general implications of placing representations at the center of the design process
