Tim Bijlsma’s Education

• Universiteit van Amsterdam

  batchelorvak , Interaction design aan de faculteit der Geestenwetenschappen. , 2007 — 2007

  Course target:
  
  To prepare students to conceptualize, demo and write up new media projects.
  
  The course investigates the key debates in interaction design theory in two parts, ‘objects and interaction’ as well as ‘digital environments and interaction.’ In each section, the authors take up variations on Roland Barthes’ notions of readerly and writerly.
  
  The first half of the course covers objects and interaction. Over the past decade the human factors approach to interaction design has come under increasing criticism. With the human factors approach (largely from cognitive science and psychology), objects should be made ‘readerly’; they have ‘affordances’ that suggest, even determine, how a product should be used and interacted with. The second half of the course treats digital environments and interaction. In digital environments similar questions may be asked concerning whether design materializes (writerly) opportunities or (readerly) constraints.
