Om emnet
In the Studio Editorial course, we take a broad view of ‘editorial’, and explore possibilities on how we are engaging with new tools, experiences and platforms related to information and content.
The students will delve into studying and exploring how to design for learning, reading experiences, storytelling, news, entertainment, and various forms of public communication. They will also analyze content strategies and examine how our society interacts with information in today’s world. Information and content can be elusive material to design with, and this course allows the students to explore and mature their interests across the three main topics ‘learning’, ‘storytelling’ and ‘public communication’. The course is organized into three thematic modules centered around each of these topics.
The different themes and topics in the three modules, in combination with the student’s self-defined scopes, offer the course an extensive range of explored topics, approaches, and experiences throughout the semester. This provides the individual students with hands-on experience with chosen expertise, in combination with a rich sensitization of the possibility space in each module.
Læringsutbytte
Knowledge:
The core knowledge outcome of the course is to continue to integrate and mature the processes and methods learnt across the Master of Design.
Skills:
The ability to work with ‘digital information products’
The students will continue to practice and deepen their ability to work and design with ‘information experiences’ for digital products.
Scoping and framing
Practice and evolve how to define and structure their projects.
Explore concept development through a wider range of deliverables
The students will develop and widen their ability to design and deliver complex digital projects, across a wide range of deliverables. Concept development and deliverables may involve utilizing diverse techniques like paper prototyping, wireframes, interface mock-ups, evidence-based designs, or clickable prototypes for early-stage testing, learning, and opening up for discussions and social involvement of concepts.
General competence:
The main activities of the course are project- and specialization-specific. In all the modules the students will scope and frame their self-defined tasks. Opening up for this self-led project structure is supported by an introduction to various methods and approaches they can choose to familiarize themselves with. And it also follows that they will have to be self-reliant in deciding on how they plan, run and conduct their own processes.
The course is run in a studio setting, with a focus on creating a social learning environment, with co-learning across the projects, shared lectures and presentations, show & tell etc.
Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter
The course consists of 3 main modules, which all have either lecture series or collaborators, workshops and exercises. The course is run as a design studio, so it requires a high degree of studio work and presence from the students. The learning style is ‘learning by doing’, and the students will be working individually or in groups of two. There will be some company visits throughout the semester.

| Vurderingsmappe | Individuell | Bestått / ikke bestått | The students will evaluated on the deliverables in all the three modules. Evaluation will be based on their Design projects and presentations. But also minor deliverables, workshops and appropriate presentation material for the third project. Projects will be assessed for their creativity, expression, innovation, usability and appropriateness of design. Since the course is structured around self defined tasks, the deliverables will also vary from project to project - and student to student. This will be supported by staff, and should be explored curiously b the students |
