IDII: a life changing experience
Sounds like a good User Interface Design program ...
"Almost two years ago, twenty students from all over the world came to Ivrea, a city that once was the epicenter of Olivetti and of the Italian Hi-tech. They came to study interaction design, in IDII's interaction design Master's course. It was the beginning of a two years journey, of a life changing experience that taught them how to change lives with their design.
First lesson learned was to leave any assumptions at the door when coming to design for other people. You need to observe, ask and try to understand the culture of the other. Too many times, what might look obvious to you is not so to someone from a different background.
The teaching methods took after the Arts and craft movement, “learning by doing” was a principal concept in IDII. The first year was devoted to teach skills and create a foundation for the thesis work in the second year. In the first year students were introduced to electronics and programming, learned how to control and sense real and virtual environments and create engaging interactions." continued ...
