This course is offered for both graduate and undergraduate credit. Students meet together, but graduate students have extra assignments. Although student stories created with extensive programming or sophisticated graphic design are welcome, the course does not require or provide these skills. Assignments are aimed at mastering digital storytelling skills through simple web projects that emphasize interactive story structure.
Attendance is mandatory and counts toward the grade.
Students will have web-based assignments every week and will present their work and exchange constructive criticism in a workshop environment. The course is aimed at nurturing individual talents while expanding the representational powers of a new creative medium. Roger Schank and R.P. Abelson. Scripts, Plans, Goals, and Understanding.
