This blog is for USyd, Design Computing - DECO1200 and DECO2101 - Interaction Design Studio.

Here's the USyd handbook info on DECO1200:

"This unit introduces interactivity and multimedia through design projects. Students will develop narrative and storytelling through non-linear interactive multimedia. Elements of interaction design including menus, hotspots, screen design, motion, animation and sound integration will be addressed for various media, including the Internet, CD-ROMs, kiosks, interactive TV, broadcast media and DVD. Management and organisation of interaction through storyboarding and prototyping will cultivate methodologies for responding to a brief. Software used includes Director, Flash, Dreamweaver.
On the successful completion of this unit of study, students will have demonstrated: the application of knowledge of interaction design to a range of contexts, for the Internet and standalone media, through the design project; knowledge of narrative and engagement in non-linear interactive contexts through the design project; knowledge of scripting and markup languages for enabling dynamic content and interactive designs, e.g. Lingo, ActionScript, HTML, JavaScript through tutorial exercises; understanding of interaction developed using mouse, keyboard, computer and traditional interfaces leads to further HCI using innovative methods of interaction in the 3rd year Interface Design Studio.
Contribution to program: this unit is core in the Bachelor of Design Computing program. This UoS builds on knowledge of image design and foundational digital media design techniques introduced in the Digital Design Studio, integrating and applying this knowledge in the context of interactive multimedia, augmenting scripting and interaction design understanding. This unit develops interaction narrative, engagement, curiosity and design methods using the computer interface. This unit lays the groundwork for scripting interactivity using web-based and standalone technologies. It leads on to the subsequent Interface Design Studio which further pursues interaction, moving to mobile, wireless, haptic and spatial sensate interfaces."
