Course

d.compress: Designing Calm (the Calmingtech course) will be taught Winter quarter 2013 at the Stanford d.school (listed in both EDUC and CS departments).

ED328X/CS377D – d.compress—Designing Calm. Stress silently but steadily damages physical and emotional well-being, relationships, productivity, and our ability to learn and remember. This highly experiential and project-oriented class will focus on designing interactive technologies to enable calm states of cognition, emotion, and physiology for better health, learning, creativity and productivity.

The course has been taught 4 times so far:

  • Winter 2013 at the Stanford d.school (current)
  • Fall 2012 at the University of Trento (Italy)
  • Spring 2012 at the Stanford d.school
  • Spring 2011 with BJ Fogg, director of the Stanford Persuasive Tech Lab (syllabus).
