CREATING DIGITAL MEDIA

Catalog description

This course is designed to give the non-expert practical experience in making digital media using simple tools of graphic design, photo editing, video editing, and audio editing. Although the course will provide an introduction to industry best practices in digital media, the main goal of the course is to give students experience in adapting written messages for audiovisual media. This workshop based course will require students to submit their digital media assignments for review from their peers. All reading materials for the course will be free Open Educational Resources online. Some of the software used in the course will be available for free, but students will be expected to purchase low-cost software subscriptions and have access to a laptop or personal computer for producing their various digital media assignments over the semester.
