	The Experimental Publishing (XPUB) study path of the Media Design and Communication Master is structured at two levels: '''Special Issues''' and '''~~Studio Practice~~'''.		The Experimental Publishing (XPUB) study path of the Media Design and Communication Master is structured at two levels: '''Special Issues''' for the first year students, and '''Graduation Project and Thesis''' for the second year students.

			These two elements of the course in relation to Self-Directed Research will equip you with essential conceptual and technical skills required to develop a challenging graduation project in your second year (refer to Media Design course handbook for details regarding the structure of your second year).

	In each session we focus on the production of an outcome, which will require practical and hands-on application of the subject and tools explored. Outcomes are linked to the topic of the special issue and can range from the creation of a website, a social file system, an acoustic data transmitting network, a collaborative and distributed work environment, a multi-format publication, floppy disk videos, audio auscultations of file systems, a digital library, and self hosting servers.
