Graduate subject – Information Management – 400 level – Master of Design (Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building)

This subject introduces students to advanced principles in user-centred information design and architecture. Content management and organisation is examined in relation to various models for designing and structuring information and communication products and services. A range of print and multimedia options are evaluated in terms of the opportunities and capabilities available for distributing information. Policies and key issues affecting the usability of information products and services are examined in detail and related specifically to implications for accessing and sharing knowledge.

On a practical level, students develop professional capabilities for translating information architectures into web materials using advanced web authoring and HTML skills. They also develop professional communication skills by working in teams to meet collaboratively negotiated outcomes.
