Communication StudiesCOMM_ST 395-DL : Topics in Communication Studies: Digital Media and Society
Description
How has digital media transformed our sense of self and our
relationships with others? In this digital literacy course, we will
attempt to answer this question by studying contemporary and
historical media research from a variety of fields, including
social science, philosophy, media studies, and communication
studies. Students will participate in group work and self
reflection activities intended to help them analyze and evaluate
the role that digital media plays in their lives. They will
practice using different interpretive strategies and analytical
tools to help them determine the social and cultural impact of
digital media. We will pay special attention to the influence of
digital media on conceptions of self and community, so that we may
better understand how digital media affects how we work, play,
learn, and communicate with one another. Each week, students
will learn about a particular topic through readings, videos,
mini-lectures, and podcasts. Then they will participate in online
discussions and complete homework related to the topic. The course
will be highly interactive, and students will work with each other
and with the instructor throughout the course.
The course is conducted completely online. A technology fee will be added to tuition. This course is part of the Business Leadership year two curriculum.
