About the Interaction Design, School of Design
At IxD (Interaction Design Department at Anant National University), we believe that working with colleagues from different disciplines, backgrounds and experiences is key to better learning as well as the generation of new ideas. Therefore,



we embrace various approaches and methods from art, science, engineering, design and the humanities. Our approach to learning relies on collaboration rather than competition so as to cultivate a creative environment in which exploration, analysis, risk, and failure can occur freely. We use an iterative cycle of making, generating, criticizing and abstracting, where the making may come first, but the focus is on the development and refinement of ideas. As artificial intelligence reshapes how interfaces, services and creative work are conceived and developed, we treat AI not as a novelty but as an approach to be designed with, interrogated, and held to account. Our goal is to train the new kind of professional for the 21st century, whose practical and critical understanding of technology — including AI and machine learning — is informed by a robust sense of purpose, ethics, and a healthy doubt of the status quo.
