The course will be organised as a series of lectures and workshops. In the lectures topics in creative technology will be presented by selected staff members. The workshops will deal with planning, supervision of team work, and creative sessions in which the options for expressing opinions, technical information and knowledge will be discussed.

Additional instruction may be needed to clarify issues of communication and presentation, and to prepare students for the creation of an individual (digital) portfolio.

Feedback will be given in the workshops, and by assessing the products as made available online. Peer reviews will not only be used for feedback, but will also form part of the procedure of assessment and grading. Grading takes place by assessing the work in a presentation session, where students present and discuss their work and contributions to the group project..
