Overview:
We will think about and engage communication in electronic spaces through synchronous and asynchronus means, through text and visual modes, and through cultural and monolithic frameworks. We will develop or continue to expand on the portfolio created in English 260, focusing on preparation for an internship opportunity. In addition, we will address these PTW content areas:
~ Audience, Purpose, Genre, Context
~ Language and Conventions
~ Project Management
~ Tools and Technologies
The course objectives are designed to enable students to:
-
explore the breadth of electronic communication
-
understand the implications of access and control of electronic spaces
-
critically address and analyze digital communication
