Week 01: Welcome to IXD301. Introduction and Briefing

This week was our first week back on our second year of Interaction design and an introduction to this module, Designing with content. As usual we were presented with a slideshow which detailed what we would be doing for this semester in this module. It would seem like this year of the course is mostly about preparing us for our work placement next year.
