New Media I addresses the practice and cultural questions surrounding the production of new media. This course introduces more advanced practices of web design (ActionScript, JQuery, Search Engine Optimization) as well as newly developed content management systems (Joomla). This course compels students to develop a critical framework for discussing the current state of networked culture and require students to actively participate on current social media platforms (including Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and blogs) in order to become more acquainted with the practices, theories, and histories related to new media. Students are expected to engage in and discuss class readings/projects concerning current issues of new media. Lab fee $100.
