Course Objectives/Description:
It is felt that most often, students with conventional backgrounds of higher secondary and graduate level education, are not acquainted with methods of organizing information contents in a rationalized and visually rich manner that is so much an integral part of any design oriented learning or practice process and has been regarded as a fundamental pillar of design thinking. Keeping this in view, the course will attempt to introduce concepts, tools and techniques that may facilitate, innovative means of recording and content development as well as structuring of information in a fashion that could evoke new insights and lead one to articulate fresh proposals towards value creation in a chosen context.
Course Outcomes:
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- To build a critical and conceptual understanding of methods of organizing, given information contents, in a rationalized and visually rich manner.
- To generate an understanding of the techniques of information modelling and data visualization, in a manner that is evocative of lending new insights and prospects of creating fresh values in an overall context of social innovation.
