Participatory Media and Communication

Students will critically investigate the theoretical and technological facets of participatory culture. Individuals with Internet access have the ability to take part in digital conversations on topics ranging from entertainment to politics. Skills in the digital composition of text, image, and audio are developed through the production of podcasts, video, blogs, and other media. These compositional and technical skills will be deployed using strategies that move consumers of media to become media producers participating in digital dialogues. Students will also explore ethical aspects of participatory culture.
