Do you youtube? Can't wait to download The Office on to your IPod? This on-line course, oriented to any student interested in learning new media language and applying it to their own work, provides a survey of contemporary new media practices and techniques, which are being applied through broadcast, web, and mobile devices such as pod movies. From Saul Bass to Hillman Curtis, students study the methodology and apply what they learn to their new media projects. Students also engage in contemporary reading by new media makers in the field.
