Learning outcomes
After successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Critically analyse how tangible and embodied interactive qualities differ from other forms of interaction;
2. Apply theoretical concepts and technical skills to evaluate experimental interaction design solutions for real world problems; and
3. Ideate and prototype tangible interactions using multi-sensory systems in product and screen design.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
In general this unit follows "NO-EXTENSIONS" policy. Extension to assessment deadline will only be granted on rare occasions where students were very ill or been through extreme hardship, backed up by a related medical certificate or letter from the university councillors office. Students are to discuss extensions well before the assessment deadline. Please note that couple of days down with seasonal viral is not a valid reason for extensions. Similarly, breakdown of computer, hard-disk/back-up corruption are not valid reasons for extensions.
Students on inclusion and welfare should discuss with their tutor regarding additional support or time well before assessment deadline. Finally, retrospective extensions will not be not be accepted under any circumstances.
Late Submissions (Please note this deviates from university general late submission penalty)
Late submission of assignments without an approved extension will result in a penalty of 10% reduced from the total available per calendar day late. An assignment submitted over 4 days late will not be accepted.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
