AF1, AF2, AF3 The teaching methodology will combine lectures, hands-on exercises and a collaborative project in which design techniques will be applied to envision, design and validate innovative digital solutions. One of these activities will be a group project consisting in proposing a digital solution to a socially relevant problem following the processes and techniques introduced in the lectures and practiced in the hands-on exercises. Tutorship will follow the UC3M regulations and available slots will be published at Aula Global. Follow-up meetings to check the collaborative project and the contribution of each member will be assessed in meetings held in the classroom. Attendance to such meeting is mandatory for all members of the team.
