151818938 INFORMATION DESIGN ( 3 Crd.Hrs )

Digital information is generated in hybrid spaces that are composed of traditional "tangible" physical elements and "intangible" elements. This course is based on three observations: ? Digital technology, as a social and professional fact, gives rise to "innovative" strategies to accompany conceptual and perceptual changes in information design. ? Human interactions are increasingly meditated. ? Information (by its perception and its uses) is "still" related to the human presence. Thus the information design has to be centered on the Human who acts in a hybrid space. To introduce and develop the multidisciplinary character of Information Design, we propose a user-centered collaborative design approach. Given the increased complexity of design in a hybrid and globalized (borderless) space, we introduce a highly experimental and constructive methodological approach of the research-action type (project driven approach). Course Objectives This course addresses the issue of digital information, its uses, its socio-professional status as well as its evolutions. The connection between information design and management of information systems will also be discussed. This will lead us to revisit the issue of Information Design in its complexity and growing importance especially when it is becomes part of online, interactive and open information system (open data system).
