With the support of the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates (MIU), the Comm Arts Department will offer a new digital media production class next fall. Introduction to Digital Media Production, a hands-on project-based course, will teach students basic digital media production skills in areas such as web design and programming, high-definition video shooting/editing, digital audio production, and linear and non-linear storytelling. These skills, applicable across a wide variety of digital platforms, including podcasts, websites, and mobile applications, will prepare students to communicate more effectively in their chosen academic disciplines as well as in their prospective careers. Comm Arts is very excited to introduce students to emerging media technologies and the career opportunities these new technologies afford.
