Description
Radical changes in all forms of publication have given people an opportunity to "write" in many ways, but what is required to create effective materials in this wide variety of media? Students will have the opportunity to craft different types of multimedia texts and refine them with the help of their peers and the instructor. In a way that will be engaging for both the tech-savvy and the technologically challenged, students will learn to use tools for creating multimedia and will begin to develop a digital portfolio that they can build upon in the future. The seminar will also encourage students to examine the advantages and disadvantages of different applications and distribution channels. Along the way, we will consider the issues of intellectual property, copyright, fair use and plagiarism and see how these issues are evolving in the digital age.
