Registration is happing through stads selvbetjening within the announced registration period, as you can see on the Studyadministration homepage.

When registering for courses, please be aware of the potential conflicts between courses or exam dates on courses. The planning of course activities at Roskilde University is based on the recommended study programs which do not overlap. However, if you choose optional courses and/or study plans that goes beyond the recommended study programs, an overlap of lectures or exam dates may occur depending on which courses you choose.

The course is targeted at third semester students combining computer science or informatics with communication studies/Kommunikation. The course consists mainly of an assignment where the workload can be placed at a time during the semester where it fits with courses at computer science/informatics and communication studies/kommunikation.

The assignment text will be fairly broad allowing student to focus on areas of their own interest and allowing students to examine areas that could be relevant in a later thesis. For computer science students the design may be a prototype or basic application for an IT-based communication platform. For informatics students, the design can focus on the use situation and the organizational design for prprooviding it-mediated communication.

There will be project formation sessions during the first week of the semester and some supervisions during the last part of the semester.

The course will have a total workload of 135 hours. 10 hours is expected for the project formation and about 15 hours for exam and preparations for the exam.

The literature are determined by the students in consultation with the course teacher and in compliance with requirements and learning goals as specified in the study programme

There will be feedback on drafts of the assignment at the latter part of the semester
