This course will focus on creating a new understanding of design, learning and collaboration (as fundamental human activities) and their support with innovative computational media and technologies. The possibilities and the practice of design, learning and collaboration are a function of the media with which we design. The goal of the course is to explore the unique possibilities which computational media can have in impacting and transforming these activities by transcending “gift-wrapping” and “techno-determinism” in order to create true innovations.
