User & Society

Electives

Having much knowledge and experiences when it comes to user and society, I have chosen to specifically gather knowledge about areas which are new for me, related to technology. As such I have chosen the electives 'Advance Cognitive Engineering' at the HTI department, which became more or less the cradle for my FMP. I also choose  'Human aspects in Innovation’,  from Innovation Management, which was among others about leadership in innovative environments taking into account aspects as personal freedom and motivation and so on. Besides that I also participated in a course 'Design for Behavioral Change', which provided me with evaluative capacities and frameworks to apply, realizing that motivation and persuasiveness of often beyond the design.

Projects

I think it is quite obvious and clear how users (in their personal context, taking into account bi-directional societal impact)  consequently have been in the center of my individual projects, the methodology development and VRtalight, that I don't elaborate a lot at this page.
In my opinion, actually, all my extra-curricular activities can be seen in the light of user en society as well, as it essentially is about how people deal with their environment and/or can make a difference.
