GMDS 14000 - Introduction to Digital Studies

Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL STUDIES Introduction to Digital Studies is designed to introduce students to a range of topics and practices in this diverse, complex, and rapidly changing field. This course is inclusive: students are neither required nor expected to have previous coding or other technical experience - only a willingness to learn, patience, and persistence! The course combines digital inquiry, creativity, and hands-on practice, asking students to think critically about the digital artifacts we consume, produce, and share on a daily basis while becoming mindful makers of digital texts. By applying computational tools to humanities questions, students will learn to create digital media that satisfies their own thoughtfully developed criteria - creative, ethical and technical. Over the semester, we will explore ditial sound, image, movement and interactivity, developing skills on several platforms by producing artifacts for each.
