1 month
credits
3
lecturer(s)
A. Eliëns, icw others (Aroyo?)
target
IMM students, year 1
aim
To engage students in communicating ideas of
personal, scientific and societal interest using web-based multimedia
technologies.
description
Topics of interest will be provided in introductory lectures,
followed by an explanation of the
interactive video platform,
and the tools needed to produce digital content.
Using standard video editing software, elementary XML configuration
files, and basic scripting function, students will work in groups
to create interactive videos, based on self-recorded material and
videos from (among others) youtube.
An essential part of the assignment will be a detailed written communication
plan that outlines the components of the video, its structure,
and the messages that the product is supposed to convey.
topics
Topics may be selected from both the scientific domain,
either technical, as outlined in
ICT Challenge(s), or from a social science/business perspective,
as proposed for the course
social and economic aspects of the connected world
suggested in a meeting of the
OLC IMM. from scoietal issues, such
as
climate change control, or personal matters
related to
students' life.
mode of tuition
college + practicum
supervision
student assistants, supported by (assistent) platform expert
technology
flex in combination with interactive flash video,
as developed for the
clima futura game platform.
benefits
Awareness of communication issues, use of media technology,
attention for (selected) topics, project planning,
oral and written reports.
pitfalls
Lack of discipline or motivation, selection of irrelevant topics.
remarks
This course should require minimal technical expertise,
but appeal to students to find creative solutions in communicating
interesting topics, using current day multimedia technology,
in particular (interactive) video.
