Comm 310: Creating Online Media
About This Course
This site is a companion to my Comm 310 course, which according to the online catalog, is a "technical, contextual and communication-directed introduction to user-centered web design and production." In this course you will receive "training in creating web pages, designing graphics and writing copy for online distribution"…and be given an "overview of the history, current function and future possibilities of the web." In this course, everyone is both a teacher and a learner.
About Teaching and Learning
Teaching cannot occur without learning, and learning cannot occur without change. I know that many of you will not become web designers. But in my teacher's heart of hearts, my deepest desire for this course to change you. I believe you are already amazing, but I also believe there are patterns and models and truths that you have not yet discovered. And some of the patterns and models that you have discovered are incorrect. Changing these models can be challenging, which is why learning and teaching are challenging. In this course we learn and teach by doing. We learn and teach by messing up, figuring out what went wrong and trying again. That's how I learned everything that I know deeply.
