52-3801 Rhetoric of Digital Media

Students explore rhetorical theories and practices that shape digital networked interaction and literacies. In this course students interact with, analyze, and research technologies and literacies that have transformed communication practices and then turn their attention to producing digital artifacts and materials. Issues covered may include the relationship between print and digital culture, creative content licensing, content strategy and curation, perspectives on authorship, the social and cultural dimensions of technology, and professional models of writing associated with digital media. Each section takes a unique approach to the hands-on exploration of exploring, consuming, creating, and even hacking digital networked spaces and cultures.
