INTERAZIONE E MULTIMEDIA E LABORATORIO A - L

Learning Objectives

• INTERAZIONE E MULTIMEDIA

  General learning objectives in terms of expected learning outcomes.

  Knowledge and understanding: The purpose of the course is to acquire knowledge that will enable the student to understand the theoretical and physical mechanisms underlying the human visual system, the formation and processing of digital images, of the improvement of the visual quality of digital images. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the student will acquire the skills needed to acquire, edit, compress, and save a digital image.
  Making judgments: Through examples in the classroom, the student will be put into the condition of understanding whether the solutions offered by him meet a certain degree of quality.
  Communication skills: The student will acquire the necessary communication skills and technical language skills in the multimedia field.
  Learning Skills: The aim of the course is to provide the student with the necessary theoretical and practical methodologies to deal with and solve new problems that arise during a work activity. To this end, several topics will be addressed in lesson by involving the student in the search for possible solutions to real problems.

  Knowledge and understanding: The purpose of the laboratory course is to acquire knowledge that will enable the student to understand how to program interactive system. Additionally, it will be provided concepts about programming which enable the student to design solution where image processing is required.

  Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the student will study Processing, a software and Java-based programming language. It will be helpful for practice on theoretical concepts.
  Making judgments: Through coding in the classroom, the student will be put into the condition of understanding whether the solutions offered by him meet a certain degree of quality.
