Overview of class

Interactive technologies are transforming how we work, play, communicate, and learn. Research on
tangible interaction attempts to blur the line between digital technologies and the broader physical,
social, and cultural worlds within which computer use is situated. This course will explore the use of
tangible interaction to create innovative learning experiences. It will review both theoretical and
technological foundations of the field including creative expression, embodied interaction, cultural
forms, and design frameworks.

teams on a museum exhibit design project. Teams will revise their work several times over the course
of the term and receive feedback from their peers. This course is intended for students interested in
publishing in learning sciences, human-computer interaction, or related fields.
