Assignments Please remember that in an online graduate course, you have a responsibility to do the readings, complete the modules, and participate in online discussions, both synchronous and asynchronous. Many activities and assignments, other than the readings, will deal with non-print media. The module and thematic analysis assignments are intended to help you to develop skills and knowledge in the design and production of new media. These assignments ought to be progressively sophisticated in audio and video media. Assignment submissions: Please submit all assignments via the Assignments tool and link to your e-Portfolio (e.g., link to MP on YouTube). 6
1. Thematic Media Production Media productions are the hallmark of cyberspace— Communication and participation are blends or convergences of image, text and sound. Certainly, students of new media technologies ought to be conversant in all of these modalities. This assignment challenges you to creatively express yourself as well as apply your technical skills. Produce one media production that thematically responds to one or more questions from any modules (out of nine) of your choice. Another option is to generate a new question for one of the modules. Prepare mediated responses that indicate your thoughtful engagement with the content. The media should be thorough and designed to inspire dialogue in the LMS forums. A number of options are available for producing your thematic media productions. You could produce a media production with power point, Java slide show (export ppt file as html), animation (use formats such as .avi, .gif or .swf), or a video camera. The media production can be in compressed formats such as .avi, .mov, .mpg, .qt, .rm, flv, etc. and should be about 5 minutes in length (Examples are provided). An approach might be to script an interview of yourself in front of a video camera. When submitting, please include your name in your file and indicate versions. For universality of access and ease of marking, include an iPod-compatible file (e.g., (H-264, mpeg4), in addition to your source file format. Please see me, if you are interesting in interviewing a peer or participant (UBC Research Ethics Board implications). Thematic Media Submissions: When ready, simply submit your media production via the Assignments tool and link to your e- Portfolio (e.g., link to your MP on YouTube).
