New Media & New Literacies ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

This course is designed to explore educational perspectives and implications of new media and new literacies. Students will investigate theories and research related to meaning-making in and around the contexts of contemporary social media. In addition, students will work collaboratively and collectively to build their knowledge in how these media are created, used, interpreted and re-used by themselves and others. They will explore how affinities for these media enable us to think differently about what it means to read, write, listen, speak, view, and participate in new literacies in educational settings. This course was previously EDU-661202.
