design seminar - location-based mobile media: maps, stories & games
Announcing a project-based seminar focused on designing location-based, mobile and pervasive media experiences.
Through readings, discussion and presentations of prior art related to the topic, students will design and develop a project that addresses the opportunities presented by locative, mobile and pervasive media concepts.
This course has no set prerequisites, although experience doing concept prototyping for or development of technology applications sufficiently to demonstrate or realize a concept will be necessary to complete the required project.

CTIN 541b - Mobile Module
CTIN 541B - Mobile Module Syllabus
I've received a couple of requests for the module syllabus and reading list. Below is the overview, and the syllabus is attached. Briefly, the readings are largely conference papers or short excerpts from books. The one book I would recommend purchasing is the Rheingold. The other essays are Google'able. If you have trouble locating them, I'll help you find them once the class begins.
See you next Monday!
Overview
The proliferation of mobile devices with built-in networking capabilities offers a unique opportunity for designing compelling entertainment, productivity and information experiences.
The objective of this module is to introduce students to the design challenges and opportunities presented by mobile technologies. Through readings, presentations of existing mobile projects, discussions, and short projects students will develop pragmatic insights into designing mobile experiences and technology. Students will form design teams to execute a mobile project design using the principles from readings and class discussions.
