IME 6050 Producing Interactive Media
Covers the fundamental practices associated with interactive media production, including interface design, applied multimedia and usability refinement. In the effort to provide users with optimized opportunities for choice and control, students will apply design guidelines such as Shneiderman's Eight Golden Rules and production/design trends emerging in various industries. Students will author interactive experiences and explore historical origins, as well as today's best practices.
Goal
Understand fundamental interactive media development concepts using common industry development tools in order to reinforce technique that may be applied beyond the scope of this course. Emerge with enhanced technical skills and theoretically-informed insights into interactivity and its increasingly significant role in a variety of communications contexts.
