| EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES: KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION SKILLS STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO: KNOW THE BASIC METHODOLOGIES OF INFORMATION DESIGN; PRESIDE OVER THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF INFORMATION DESIGN; UNDERSTAND THE CHARACTERISTICS AND POTENTIAL OF INFORMATION DESIGN TOOLS OF INFORMATION DESIGN. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS OF INFORMATION DESIGN, FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES DIFFERENTIATED, DEPENDING ON THE CONTEXTS OF REFERENCE. AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP ANALYTICAL AND ARGUMENTATIVE SKILLS, THE ABILITY TO MAKE EVALUATIONS AND DISTINCTIONS FOR THE THE CORRECT AND EFFECTIVE USE OF INFORMATION DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION DESIGN AND TO JUSTIFY THE METHODOLOGICAL CHOICES AND SUPPORTING TOOLS. LEARNING SKILLS THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS, TO UPDATE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND METHODOLOGIES ON THE SUBJECT, AND TO EXPLORE NEW INFORMATION DESIGN TOOLS. |

| Contents | |
|---|---|
| INFORMATION DESIGN THEORY: DEFINITION, HISTORY, AREAS OF APPLICATION (3 HOURS LECTURE); - PRINCIPLES OF VISUAL DESIGN AND COMMUNICATION (3 HOURS LECTURE); - METHODOLOGIES FOR COLLECTING, PROCESSING AND INTERPRETING DATA AND INFORMATION (3 HOURS LECTURE, 2 TUTORIAL); - TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS FOR VISUALIZATION AND PRESENTATION OF COMPLEX DATA (3 HOURS LECTURE, 2 HOURS EXERCISE); - CONSTRUCTION OF VISUAL NARRATIVES AND STORYTELLING AND VISUALIZATION OF INFORMATION ACROSS DIFFERENT MEDIA (2 HOURS LECTURE, 2 HOURS TUTORIAL); - PROJECT WORK OF INFOGRAPHICS AND USE OF VISUAL STORYTELLING TECHNIQUES FOR COMMUNICATING COMPLEX INFORMATION (15 HOURS WORKSHOP). |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE TEACHING INCLUDES THEORETICAL LECTURES AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES. THE LECTURES AIM AT ACQUIRING BASIC NOTIONS OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION AND AT FACILITATING THE ACQUISITION OF FUNDAMENTAL METHODOLOGIES TO DEAL WITH THE IDENTIFICATION AND/OR ANALYSIS PHASES AND THUS THE CONCEPTION OF THE RELEVANT DESIGN PROJECT PROPOSAL, CONSIDERING THE HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT AND CURRENT TRENDS. IN THE EXERCISES, THE STUDENTS, DIVIDED INTO WORKING GROUPS, ARE ASSIGNED AN INFORMATION DESIGN THEME TO BE DEVELOPED THROUGH APPROPRIATE METHODOLOGICAL, THEORETICAL, AND PRACTICAL TOOLS. THE STUDENTS, ORGANIZED IN DESIGN TEAMS, WILL ADDRESS ISSUES RELATED TO THE MOST RECENT LANGUAGES AND TECHNIQUES OF INFORMATION DESIGN DURING THE GUIDED PROJECT EXPERIENCE. CLASS ATTENDANCE IS NOT COMPULSORY. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAMINATION IS DESIGNED TO ASSESS THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO HAVE LEARNED THE CONTENT FUNDAMENTALS OF THE COURSE. THE GRADE, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS WITH POSSIBLE HONORS, WILL DEPEND ON THE MATURITY ACQUIRED IN KNOWLEDGE AND EXPOSITION. IT WILL BE ASCERTAINED THROUGH AN ORAL INTERVIEW AIMED AT ASCERTAINING THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION ABILITY ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT ON THE CONTENTS OF THE TEACHING, AS WELL AS TO VERIFY THE ABILITY TO EXPOSITION, RESORTING TO THE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY AND THE ABILITY TO AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATION OF EXPOSITION. THE INTERVIEW CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS, A) AND B). PART A) PROPOSES THEORY QUESTIONS ON ALL COURSE TOPICS AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES RECOMMENDED, AS WELL AS ON THE WORKSHOPS AND ANY SEMINARS CONDUCTED. PART B) PROPOSES DISCUSSION OF THE YEAR'S EXERCISE PAPERS, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE ORIGINAL USE OF IMAGES, COLORS, TYPOGRAPHY AND LAYOUT. THE HIGHEST GRADE IS AWARDED TO THE STUDENT WHO DEMONSTRATES APPROPRIATE AND THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF THE COURSE CONTENT, SUPPORTED BY THE QUALITY OF THE EXERCISE ELECTORATE. THE LOWEST GRADE IS AWARDED TO THE STUDENT WHO DEMONSTRATES A BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE COURSE CONCEPTS. FOR THE PURPOSE OF HONORS, CONSIDERATION WILL BE GIVEN TO: - THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSITION, IN TERMS OF THE USE OF APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE - THE QUALITY OF THE PROJECT EXERCISE PAPERS - OF THE ABILITY TO CROSS-CORRELATE THE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE COURSE - OF THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT DEMONSTRATED. |
