Learning outcomesLearning outcomes continue to be appropriate for a 7.5 ECTS course on the MIXD course program, and students agreed that the learning outcomes were achieved as specified in the course description [Reference Group report].  The course focuses on a scientific understanding of colour and its use in interface design, and students reach a high level of theoretical understanding and ability to apply in their design work, which is seen in their submissions for the Portfolio and Coursework Project assessments in particular. Teaching and learningThe course is taught through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops and labs, together with assessed portfolio and project work. The aim throughout is that the course is at the forefront of knowledge in the field. The mix of learning activities has motivated students to deliver high-quality work. Students participate in generating evidence for their findings through class and individual experiments. The course is delivered partly face-to-face, and partly on-line. Students were happy with both forms of delivery and had no problems with connecting and interacting on-line. Sessions were all recorded, which students found very useful, both for time-shifted attendance and for reference.  Students welcomed the wide range of information provided on the Blackboard site [Reference Group report]. They also appreciated the availability of materials from previous years.  The student-led design seminars were again not a great success, and this aspect needs to be rethought. Students suggested a more creativity-focused free choice of topic, branded as ‘Topics of Interest’ [Reference Group report] and this will be trialled in 2024..Based on student feedback from 2022, data analysis was expanded both as whole-class sessions and individual sessions on specific student projects. Guest lectures on particular topics were again very successful. These lectures stimulated discussion and in some cases informed and inspired coursework projects. A new guest lecture for 2023 by a practicing designer was particularly good, and students recommended more similar sessions in the future [Reference Group report]. AssessmentThe elements of assessment are designed to enable evaluation against learning outcomes, while at the same time being learning opportunities in themselves, rather than being solely summative tests. The portfolio is intended primarily to develop and assess skills, while the coursework project involves students in original and creative work with links to recent and current research. Ideally the coursework project acts as an introduction to work at Master Thesis level. Students were motivated to complete all the assessed elements, and again performed at a high level. 20 students submitted work for and passed all elements of assessment.  The students provided feedback on the assessments. For the Portfolio the range of choices worked well [“The Portfolio had a lot of projects to choose from. The students had the opportunity to choose topics based on their interests".- Reference Group report], while the Project was considered to be “.. a great learning experience, .. it felt like a mini-master project” – Reference Group report].

Learning outcomesLearning outcomes continue to be appropriate for a 7.5 ECTS course on the MIXD course program. The course focuses on a scientific understanding of colour and its use in interface design, and students reach a high level of theoretical understanding and ability to apply in their design work. Students commented that “The teacher made a lot of resources and course material easily accessible on blackboard  … Lectures were also structured and consistent” [Reference group report] The course was delivered completely on-line this semester due the Covid-19 situation. Students responded well and learning outcomes were met as in previous years. AssessmentThe elements of assessment are designed to enable evaluation against learning outcomes, while at the same time being learning opportunities in themselves, rather than being solely summative tests. The portfolio is intended primarily to develop and assess skills, while the coursework project involves students in original and creative work with links to recent and current research. Students are motivated to complete all the assessed elements, and have performed at a high level. The assessments were not significantly affected by the Covid-19 situation, as all students were able to deliver the three elements of assessment.  22 students registered for the course, of whom 18 completed it and passed all elements of assessment. As in previous years it has been difficult to rein in students’ motivation to produce work of outstanding quality, and students place high expectation on themselves [reference group report].  The students provided feedback on the assessments [see reference group report]. For the Portfolio the workload was not considered to be too high, which marks an improvement on previous years. The exam format used last year was retained, and this also reduced the student workload.

Teaching and learningThe course is taught through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops and labs, together with assessed portfolio and project work. The aim throughout is that the course is at the forefront of knowledge in the field. The mix of learning activities has motivated students to deliver high-quality work. Students participate in generating good quality evidence for their findings through class and individual experiments. One risk with this approach is that students feel an expectation that their own work should qualify as high-quality research [Reference Group report] On-line sessions were generally successful. Some sessions were not fully recorded, which students found a problem [Reference group report]. Students welcomed the availability of materials from previous years. Unlike in previous years, the student-led design seminars did not generate interest among students.Students were interested to analyze the results of their coursework projects, and an additional session was provided on data analysis. Based on student feedback [Reference group report], this could be expanded to include correlation and p-values in the next delivery of the course. Guest lectures were again very successful, and the on-line mode made delivery of this part of the course easier, as guest lectures were not expected to travel to Norway. These lectures stimulated discussion and inspired some coursework projects.

IMT4315 looks at colour in interface design from a scientific standpoint, and introduces students to current knowledge of colour vision and the use of colour within the interface design, emphasising the need to base design decisions on solid evidence. In 2021 the method of delivery was changed to on-line only in the light of the covid situation, and this was very successful - in fact students suggested this should be made permanent [Reference group report]. The classroom interaction worked well and students appreciated access to session recordings, lecture pdfs and other resources [Reference group report]. Students also liked the mix of lectures, seminars and tutorials and found the individual feedback given during the coursework project particularly helpful [Reference group report].

Learning outcomes continue to be appropriate for a 7.5 ECTS course on the MIXD course program. The course focuses on a scientific understanding of colour and its use in interface design, and students reach a high level of theoretical understanding and ability to apply in their design work. Students appreciated the research focus and commented that “course work project was a great research experience to have before later writing the master’s thesis” [Reference group report] No changes were needed to course learning outcomes in response to the Covid-19 situation, and learning outcomes were met as in previous years.

The course is taught through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops and labs, together with assessed portfolio and project work. The aim throughout is that the course is at the forefront of knowledge in the field. This mix of learning activities has motivated students to deliver high-quality work. Students participate in generating good quality evidence for their findings through class and individual experiments.  This year the course was taught fully on-line due to Covid restrictions. This was easier to deliver than a hybrid course, and students strongly appreciated the mode of delivery: “Keep it as a mostly online course – It works very well!” [Reference group report]. Students also appreciated the individual feedback sessions [Reference group report]. All sessions were recorded and made available as both video and slide-only formats. Students welcomed the availability of materials from previous years. Although the previous cohort welcomed the introduction of student-led design seminars this year, this cohort felt that although interesting they took valuable time away from portfolio work and project work [Reference group report]. In the next delivery of the course consideration will be given to holding just design seminars and not topic seminars. Based on student feedback from last year [Reference group report 2020], the data analysis content was expanded.

The elements of assessment are designed to enable evaluation against learning outcomes, while at the same time being learning opportunities in themselves, rather than being solely summative tests. The portfolio is intended primarily to develop and assess skills, while the coursework project involves students in original and creative work with links to recent and current research. Students are motivated to complete all the assessed elements, and have performed at a high level. One challenge with assessment in previous years has been the tendency of students to put more effort than expected into the Portfolio element, and as a result feeling pressured to complete other elements of assessment. Following consultation with students at the beginning of the course, the number of separate portfolio activities was significantly reduced, and this appears to have been successful - students judged it to be 'a perfect amount of work' [Reference group report].The content of the individualised home exam was also changed this year to bring it more into line with the content of the student's coursework project. This appears to have been preferred by students [class feedback].

This course provides a scientific perspective on the use of colour in interface design. Students complete high quality work and are generally satisfied with the course, although as in previous years believe that the workload is too high.

Learning outcomes continue to be appropriate for a 7.5 ECTS course on the MIXD course program. The course focuses on a scientific understanding of colour and its use in interface design, and students reach a high level of theoretical understanding and ability to apply in their design work. Students commented that “Course material was rich with colour background and deep information. It is valuableMaterial” [Reference group report] Little adjustment was needed to the course in response to the Covid-19 situation and learning outcomes were met as in previous years.

The course is taught through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops and labs, together with assessed portfolio and project work. The aim throughout is that the course is at the forefront of knowledge in the field. This mix of learning activities has motivated students to deliver high-quality work. Students participate in generating good quality evidence for their findings through class and individual experiments.  On-line sessions were generally successful, “maybe even better than when doing it in class” [Reference group report]. Students also appreciated the interactivity of the on-line sessions, with the opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussions. Some sessions were not fully recorded, which students found a problem [Reference group report]. Students welcomed the availability of materials from previous years. They also welcomed the introduction of student-led design seminars this year, and would have liked more of this activity.Students were keen to fully analyze the results of their coursework projects, and an additional session was provided on data analysis. Based on student feedback [Reference group report], this could be expanded in the next delivery of the course.

The elements of assessment are designed to enable evaluation against learning outcomes, while at the same time being learning opportunities in themselves, rather than being solely summative tests. The portfolio is intended primarily to develop and assess skills, while the coursework project involves students in original and creative work with links to recent and current research. Students are motivated to complete all the assessed elements, and have performed at a high level. The assessments were not significantly affected by the Covid-19 situation, as all students were able to deliver the three elements of assessment. Extra time was given for the coursework project since it was recognized that many students were affected in their home and work lives by the situation. A high percentage of students who registered for the course completed it and passed all elements of assessment. As in previous years it has been difficult to rein in students’ motivation to produce work of outstanding quality, and many have put much more effort than expected into completing the assessed elements [reference group report]. The students provided feedback on the assessments [see reference group report]. For both the Portfolio and Exam the workload was considered to be too high in comparison with other courses. Although the workload was reduced in 2020 students still consider this to be too high, with the main problem being the exam.
