Syllabus:

Digital media have become fundamental to many ways that we communicate, interact and learn. In this workshop-based class, you will gain a better understanding of the systems, processes and history of digital media through a multimodal digital design project on a topic of your choice. To develop this project, students will learn the basics of digital photography, web development, social media analytics, graphic design software and other digital platforms. This hands-on, practice-based learning is supported by theoretical and historical perspectives on digital platforms, with consideration given to the ways that they work on both technological and social levels. You will learn to apply principles to practice in response to the rise of a media-driven, technology-oriented economy worldwide. Digital Platforms functions as an introduction to digital media practices and is a fundamental course for students who are looking to communicate online in more effective and creative ways.
