Topics include differences of information, multiple organization strategies, metaphors, cognitive models, and 2-D/3-D navigation structures. Students are expected to develop a semester-long project, as well as smaller, weekly projects. Personal reflection and critical analysis are important components of the course, as projects are discussed and critiqued throughout the semester.
