QUOTES OF THE DAY

"When people talk to me about the digital divide, I think of it not so much about who has access to what technology as about who knows how to create and express themselves in the new language of the screen. If students aren't taught the language of sound and images, shouldn't they be considered as illiterate as if they left college without being able to read and write?" — George Lucas, filmmaker (Sept.2004, Edutopia, Life on the Screen)

"A media-literate person - and everyone should have the opportunity to become one - can decode, evaluate, analyze, and produce both print and electronic media. The fundamental objective of media literacy is critical autonomy in relationship to all media. Emphases in media literacy training vary widely, including informed citizenship, aesthetic appreciation and expression, social advocacy, self-esteem, and consumer competence."— Patricia Auferderheide (1993).

WELCOME TO INTRO TO MULTIMEDIA

What is Digital Media? 

What about Multimedia? And how is it different than New Media? 

We will be examining different types of media in both non-interactive and interactive formats. Through lectures, readings, presentations, discussions, and collaborative exercises we will take a closer look at how text, graphics, audio, video, and animation intersect and interact in the digital media world today.
