Details about this class
This section of the MM112 course is an in-person class only.
Our in-class sessions have in-class group topics, hands-on lessons, and in-class hands-on activities and in-class labs. Everything we do in class will have a media component that you are working on during class time. Pre-class video lessons and pre-work and short demos in class take the place of lectures during class so there is more time to be creating during our time together.
This term, we will work on an end-of-term project that also connects to the writing for multimedia class I teach for creating an in-person story exhibit.
