The purpose of\u00a0this module<\/a> is to introduce learners to the Digital Media Industry. In this class, you will participate a broad approach to digital inquiry, digital creativity, and critical practice as they may manifest in different disciplines.<\/p>\n In other words, this class will introduce you to and help you develop the ideas, practices, and skills that will be the focus of the CDM degree. While some coursework will involve working closely with computer software and code, no prior experience with programming is required or expected. With regard to digital tools, there\u2019s a good deal of \u201chow\u201d in this class, but a greater emphasis on \u201cwhy\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”CTA Section” _builder_version=”3.22″ min_height=”1027px” custom_margin=”64px|||||” custom_padding=”100px||10px|||”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ admin_label=”Process Row” _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%302%%” icon_color=”#f5b600″ admin_label=”Process” _builder_version=”4.4.6″ header_font=”Muli|700|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_font_size=”20px” header_line_height=”1.4em” body_font=”Muli|600|||||||” body_text_align=”center” body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.8em” border_width_all_image=”4px” border_color_all_image=”#f4583f”]<\/p>\n This course requires an internet connection.

With regard to digital tools, there\u2019s a good deal of \u201chow\u201d in this class, but a greater emphasis on \u201cwhy\u201d.<\/p> Slack will be used as the main tool for communication(this is used as a tool in many creative digital media companies.) You should create a Slack account at our class\u2019s domain as\u00a0per these instructions<\/a>\u00a0at your earliest convenience.\u00a0I also recommend using the app and desktop client.<\/p> I will use Moodle announcements to communicate important information about this class, including assigned readings and changes in timetable. Those messages will go to your email, which you should check at least once a day. Please use Email for important(grades\/extended absence\/personal) issues.<\/p> This class will depend heavily on in-class and online discussion, and for both of those to be successful, we need a critical mass of engaged participants. Therefore, you should plan to be present in class every day we meet, ready to contribute something to a discussion about the assigned reading or homework. And in addition, you should be regularly contributing to our distributed conversation online via your website, Slack, Twitter, or other means.<\/p> You will need\u00a0about twelve to sixteen hours total<\/strong>\u00a0to complete each week\u2019s tasks, I\u2019ve provided time estimates for each assignment \u2014 or I should say \u201cguesstimates\u201d (you will get a sense from week to week of just how long each time of assignment takes). The main thing is to be alert to the activities that will take longer than others so that you can plan accordingly!<\/p> Class participation and engagement will have the largest bearing on your success for this module.<\/p> Many of the activities for this module consist of group work and Slack is organised to allow for better communication. Your tasks are designed to replicate the experience that you would find in the work environment where the ability to work as part of a group is essential. If you are finding this problematic please make arrangements to meet.<\/p> Unlike other modules, each week\u2019s works is set out as per the calendar at the beginning of the semester, As such, there is the possibility to work ahead and there is no cramming at the end. The downside is that there are no opportunities for extensions. If you are absent for more than a week, please come and speak to me.<\/p> There are\u00a0no required textbooks<\/strong>\u00a0to buy for this class.<\/p> In the first week we will work on setting up our collaboration tools(Slack, Twitter), enroll on Moodle, and create our digital portfolio. Let\u2019s have a look at the orientation tasks<\/a>\u00a0that we will complete during the first two weeks.<\/p><\/article><\/div>","_et_gb_content_width":"","advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-introtodigitalmedia","category-lecturers","category-news"],"author_meta":{"display_name":false,"author_link":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/author\/admin\/"},"featured_img":null,"coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["Intro to Digital Media<\/a>","Lecturers<\/a>","News<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Intro to Digital Media<\/span>","Lecturers<\/span>","News<\/span>"]}},"comment_count":"0","relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 57 years ago","modified":"Updated 57 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on ","modified":"Updated on "},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on ","modified":"Updated on "},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3144\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdmonline.ie\/introdm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL MEDIA 2020<\/h2>
