EnglishObjectives
1- INTRODUCTION
The areas of Interaction and Multimedia are continually evolving, often even disruptively.
Informatics engineers should be able to monitor the results of scientific research and technological development, adapting their options and practices to these developments.
2 - SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
The aim of this course is to transmit knowledge about following research and development processes in research areas regarding Advanced Interaction and Multimedia.
Learning outcomes and competences
2) Further practice skills on scientific research processes.
3) Develop and deepen knowledge in the selected advanced topic related to interaction and multimedia.
4) To practice practical competencies on studies/technologies required to perform the lab work.
5) Develop skills in oral communication regarding the work performed.
Working method
PresencialProgram
A number of base areas will be focused, including:
- Information visualization
- Multimodal Interfaces
- 3D Interfaces
- Evaluation of Human-Computer Interfaces

Comments from the literature
Scientific papers suggested by the teachers during classes.Teaching methods and learning activities
The classes will be theoretical and practical with a tutorial orientation component.
One of the components of the classes includes the presentation and discussion of advanced topics from each of the areas defined in the syllabus.
In another component, students have two assignments:
- State of the art or the technology and the presentation/discussion of the work;
- Lab work developed under the guidance of a teacher/researcher.
Evaluation Type
Distributed evaluation without final examAssessment Components
| Designation | Weight (%) |
|---|---|
| Apresentação/discussão de um trabalho científico | 30,00 |
| Trabalho prático ou de projeto | 70,00 |
| Total: | 100,00 |
Amount of time allocated to each course unit
| Designation | Time (hours) |
|---|---|
| Apresentação/discussão de um trabalho científico | 3,00 |
| Estudo autónomo | 39,00 |
| Frequência das aulas | 39,00 |
| Elaboração de projeto | 81,00 |
| Total: | 162,00 |
Eligibility for exams
Do not exceed the absence limit and actively participate in the preparation of the report and project.
Perform every work defined in the course and deliver as scheduled.
Worker-students missing classes must ensure their work is presented regularly to the teachers. The dates/moments for evaluations/presentations apply to all students, despite their particular status (for instance worker-students).
Calculation formula of final grade
The calculation of the final grade follows the following formula:
CF = I * 30% + P * 70%
- CF: Final grade
- I:research work
- P: Project
Examinations or Special Assignments
The only evaluation mode for this couse is "distributed evaluation and without a final exam". Therefore there are no special works or exams.Classification improvement
Students can perform the course again (in a next year) to improve the classification grade.Observations
2.Every work must be monitored regularly (between 1 and 2 weeks) by teachers, unless they are not considered for evaluation. It is the student's responsibility to ensure this follow-up.
3.Course enrolement is not accepted in this curricular unit after the end of the second week of classes.
4.Works cannot be delivered and evaluated after the end of the semester for this course.
5.This course does not freeze grades (total/partial) between evaluation moments or different academic years.
6.The possibility of claiming or requesting the review of a grade ceases fifteen days after the publication date.
8.The text in Portuguese prevails over the English translation.
