Draft course outline:
February 1: Design is a process
February 2: Design is a visitor advocate
February 3: Design is art as interpretation
February 4: Content drives design...except when...
February 5: Design is a verb
February 6: Design is telling a story
Through discussion, fieldtrips, readings, assignments and design opportunities, this course will help provide you with opportunities to build exhibition planning and design skills.

The Social Dimension: Interactive Exhibits for the Floor and the Web <http://www.uvcs.uvic.ca/aspnet/Course/Detail/?code=CMCR800> will be instructed by Jim Spadaccini, Director of Ideum<http://www.ideum.com/>, This course will, among other things, investigate interactive and collaborative technologies and develop your ability to understand the technological and social differences for developing computer-based exhibits for the museum floor and the Web. It will increase your capacity to plan, implement and evaluate computer-based exhibits.
