  Bachelor and Master courses at the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo are semester- long courses. Students and teaching staff meet two to four hours every week for lectures and group work. This was also the case in Design, Use, Interaction, a two-year master programme. In 2013 it became possible to teach intensive courses in this Master programme, creating an opportunity to implement three intensive courses successively in one semester. This resulted in the development of two intensive courses and the intensification of another course, which was normally taught as a semester-long course: Tangible Interaction Design, Advancements in Interaction Design, and Design, Technology & Society. Each course was five weeks long. In a presentation of each of the three courses, we will focus on the opportunities and challenges in teaching an intensive course. The main question we will address is: What are the characteristics of a successful intensive course? Based on a literature review, we have identified the following attributes that play a central role in the success of an intensive course: course methodology, teaching methods, exam format, and lecturer-student(s) interactions. We will present our experiences in teaching intensive courses along these four attributes. Our findings and discussion centre around our constructivist learning methodology, implemented through a wide variety of methods enabling creativity, hands-on experiences, theory-practice nexus, and critical reflexivity; new and adapted exam formats; and constructive lecturer-student interactions. While the experiences from the three courses are different, we were able to extract three common attributes for success: i) create a ‘learning home’ for the students, which provides them with a common understanding of the course methodology and enables them to identify their learning experiences; ii) actively work with the theory-practice nexus, using the theoretical literature as a lens to understand practice and practice to construct new knowledge; iii) cultivate constructive lecturer-student and student-student interactions both on an individual, group, and class level.

  There is currently an ongoing debate within HCI community regarding the legitimacy of design objects as producers and carriers of knowledge. This paper takes a Research through Design methodological approach to making such an object, RepMoves, with a purpose to explore its use and usefulness and demonstrate how new knowledge can arise while exploring and experimenting with design objects. In this paper, RepMoves is used to address rhythmic and repetitive bodily interaction with music as a welfare technology concept for senior citizens with cognitive difficulties related to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, and in one example, an individual with Parkinson. We show how RepMoves interface was adapted for use in each of these cases, how movements and interfaces were changed, and most importantly, RepMoves' potential to generate knowledge and research opportunities.

  This paper gives an account of a first-person research and sensory experiences of a researcher making an artefact called SlowBreath. SlowBreath is an interactive cushion featuring heath and warmth, combined with meditative, relaxing, rhythmical vibrations. It is intended as a tool that supports energy balancing, a critical component of self-management for those with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). In contrast to approaches that focus on users’ needs, the researcher has designed the artefact by exploring different combinations and dynamics of materials, forms, and computational expressions, guided by own aesthetic judgments, focusing primarily on meditative and bodily experiences generated when using SlowBreath. Only when the researcher was satisfied with experiences, people with ME were to use SlowBreath for energy balancing, and minimizing of sensory input, to reduce the chances for illness-specific over-exertion, that can have a negative impact on their health, i.e., further research with users focused on the use, not design.

  This paper is concerned with installations as a mode to engage children and youth in discussion of current, serious issues that affect the world we live in. We use critical and speculative approach in design of installations. These installations are made possible through cross-sectional collaboration between a children’s museum and academic research and design. The collaboration has been built over a long period, nearing its 12th anniversary. We consider it to be a sustainable cross-sectional practice, delivering fresh content to the city’s youngest (4-15 years of age) every fall. Over 30 collaborative projects have been implemented so far, and only a portion of them are interactive installations of the kind we address in this paper. They represent work at the intersection between technology, art, design and, as we try to communicate in this paper, society. This paper describes our theoretical and practical approach, grounded in Research through Design. The installations cater to families as the audience, thus, also include parents as active participants and as helpers to their children to understand and interpret activities and provoke reflections on matters of concern, such as immigration policies, city violence, sustainability and the like. Two installations are chosen to illustrate our approach. The first one uses a dystopian scenario, where the Earth is increasingly polluted and outbreaks of violence and terror are an everyday occurrence. However, it is possible to relocate from Earth to the beautiful planet Axzaylia, but only if a person’s DNA is deemed acceptable by a computer system. The second installation focuses on climate changes and how the children can understand them and further work with this understanding. Together, the installations illustrate opportunities for Human-Computer Interaction design to, through speculative and provocative design, engage children in political and civic issues and move from matters of children’s needs (neither installation is utilitarian or needs oriented in any way) to matters of concern to their future.

  In this paper, we present a reflective visual account of the process and outcome from a speculative research through design project – Hearsay. Through this account we unpack and present the conceptual, technical and material explorations that guided our design process. Further, using this mode of reflective visual articulation, we contribute to interaction design research by highlighting potential possibilities and problematics for design within the emergent space of intelligent voice based interfaces.
