New Course - COMM 499 "F2F In/And the New Media Classroom"

Announcing a new COMM 499 class that teaches students how to build digital artifacts, write and collaborate online and take field trips into Los Angeles, the ultimate learning lab.

"F2F In/And the New Media Classroom" meets T/TH 9:30-10:50.  It will be conducted 65% online, 35% face-to-face (F2F).  Using platforms like Skype, chat, Twitter and Wordpress, the class will meet synchronously during regular class hours.

F2F, we'll also make remixes, edit videos and discuss some of the most exciting scholarship about new media, learning networks, and what happens in our brains when we learn F2F.

Students in this class require no special technical training or preparation to participate.  The tools we will use are simple to learn.  It welcomes all levels of students, freshman through senior.
