ETP 3559 Media Literacy Practice for the Environment (Session I) NEW ETP COURSE!
How does mediation of the environment reflect our perception of and relationship to it? How do different forms of media, independently and combined, communicate environmental messages? This class will focus on media literacy and practice through the creation of original multimedia expressions using sound, images and text. Students will gain fluency composing mixed media expressions that could be applied in a wide range of fields such as in journalism, music or art works, scientific presentations, humanities research, etc. We will work on small forms such as social media posts and presentation slides, and on larger forms such as videos, podcasts, or artworks. The focus will be on practicing the combination of different forms of media and analyzing the results. There are no prerequisites for the class, and students do not need to hold any aspirations in the arts or music to benefit from and succeed in it. We can apply these methods across many fields, and students of the sciences, arts, public policy, journalism or humanities could all find this course rewarding. Every student will be issued a field recording kit for making high quality audio soundscapes. Students should supply their own form of imaging device, such as a smart phone or camera.
