Description
Digital Creators Online Seminar will be a creative and collaborative online space focused on creating meaningful and shareable digital artifacts for academic and extracurricular projects.
Digital creations may include presentations or infographics for school projects, podcasts, images and slideshows, animations, and even memes or gifs. Students’ creations might be informational or artistic or autobiographical or all of the above, and they might be shared in a variety of ways—including but not limited to social media. Students will have a lot of freedom and choice in the types of multimedia they create and who their intended audiences are. Ultimately, students’ interests and goals will determine what they make and for what purpose.
Expected learning outcomes
- Considering audience and engaging in a design process
- Conducting research and vetting sources
- Creating media via proprietary and open platforms
- Collecting and remixing existing media
- Managing copyright and fair use
- Choosing avenues for distribution and considerations around sharing on social media
