Abstract

This paper presents the undergraduate course "Interaction Design - User and Communication in IT Environments" (ID-course). We have combined students from different backgrounds let them run innovative projects related to IT with emphasis on methods from the field of interaction design. Students identified and selected any interaction design problem to work with as a project during the course. We have studied three cases during the course. Subcultural differences among the students should be regarded as an effective variable for the outcome of each project. Student more successfully and more enthusiastically approaches their ideas when they collaborate interdisciplinary with different background and competencies.
