Courses
Spring 2013
GC ITP Core 2
Tuesdays, 4:15 - 6:15PM
Instructors: Christopher Stein email and Luke Waltzer email
In the first core course of the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy certificate program you were introduced to the history and contexts within which technology has been integrated into teaching, learning, and research at the college level. In the second core course, you will continue with that investigation as you begin to carve out space for your own work. The focus of our reading will be the contemporary academy, and the goal of our discussions will be for you to better understand the place of your work within it. By the end of the semester you will produce a polished proposal for a multimedia-based project in your discipline related to research, pedagogy, or both.
Fall 2012
GC ITP Core 1
Tuesdays, 4:15 - 6:15PM
Instructors: Steve Brier email
This is the first core course in the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy certificate program. We will examine the economic, social, and intellectual history of technological design and use in general, and of interactive media in particular. Our focus is also on the mutual shaping of technology and academic teaching, learning and research—how people and ideas have shaped these (largely) classroom and academic research interactions in the past, and how we are now transforming them in the present. By examining the use and design of technologies inside and outside of the university, we are, of course, also reflecting on what it means to be human in a world increasingly dominated and controlled by various technologies.
The course also explores the history and theory of digital media, including hypertext and multimedia, highlighting the theoretical and practical possibilities for research, reading, writing, presentation, interaction, and play. We are particularly interested in the ITP program in the possibilities that new, nonlinear, digital tools have opened up for teaching and research, including the emergence of the new field of “Digital Humanities.”
