Learning outcomes and competences:
 
Prerequisites:

Knowledge of 3D software, computer modeling, and visualization is assumed. The course directly follows on from the Virtual Reality course and builds on the knowledge gained in the Computer Graphics I, II, and Computer Modeling and Visualization I courses.  

Course contents:

Students will gain a general insight into the possibilities of collaborative work in a virtual environment and will try working on assignments in groups. They will participate in practical exercises that promote creativity, effective communication, and adaptability using technological tools in a virtual environment. Through studio assignments, students will develop skills to navigate the evolving environment of collaborative work and promote a holistic approach to problem solving.
