This 3-hour lab con­sists of work­shops that offer sup­port­ive in­struc­tion and train­ing in var­i­ous soft­ware pro­grams, dig­i­tal tools, and plat­forms. These work­shops are in­tro­duc­tions to the pro­grams and tools for dig­i­tal imag­ing, graph­ics, video, sound, and in­ter­ac­tive de­sign. The work­shops are de­signed to scaf­fold tech­ni­cal and de­sign skills while fos­ter­ing a cul­ture of sus­tain­able learn­ing com­mu­ni­ties. Stu­dents are ex­pected to com­plete a se­ries of guided as­sign­ments that cul­ti­vate media pro­duc­tion skillsets, to be used while learn­ing the skills to de­velop as­sets for dig­i­tal sto­ry­telling, game stud­ies and in­ter­ac­tive de­sign. These skills are also crit­i­cal for pro­fes­sional pre­sen­ta­tion and doc­u­men­ta­tion of in­ter­ac­tive work. Ac­tive class par­tic­i­pa­tion is re­quired as well as timely com­ple­tion of as­sign­ments. Stu­dents will be is­sued a google folder where all work and re­flec­tions will be up­loaded in a timely man­ner. Stu­dents must also re­flect on each as­sign­ment in writ­ing and dis­cuss their ideas and chal­lenges. To suc­cess­fully com­plete the course, stu­dents must up­load all as­sign­ments to their as­signed folder and ac­tively par­tic­i­pate in cri­tiques and class chal­lenges.

This 3-hour lab consists of workshops that offer supportive instruction and training in various software programs, digital tools, and platforms. These workshops are introductions to the programs and tools for digital imaging, graphics, video, sound, and interactive design. The workshops are designed to scaffold technical and design skills while fostering a culture of sustainable learning communities. Students are expected to complete a series of guided assignments that cultivate media production skillsets, to be used while learning the skills to develop assets for digital storytelling, game studies and interactive design. These skills are also critical for professional presentation and documentation of interactive work. Active class participation is required as well as timely completion of assignments. Students will be issued a google folder where all work and reflections will be uploaded in a timely manner. Students must also reflect on each assignment in writing and discuss their ideas and challenges.
