COMM 325 Interactive Media
Students learn the critical skills necessary to create engaging media that are socially and politically aware by surveying and analyzing trends in interactive media through frequent screenings, experiences, theoretical readings, discussions, critiques and workshops in our Innovation Lab. Using theoretical texts as a guide, students explore how emergent tools promote new genres and novel experiences for interpretation and meaning. Students create projects that incorporate user interactivity, computer programming, design and digital media (video, sound, images, etc.) together using professional software. This course will be offered with different themes, including: Physical Computing, Non-Linear Narrative, Interactive Performance and Emerging Technology. Students may take the course twice if each class has a different theme. Additional lab fee applies.
