Section Information for Spring 2014
Contact Nicole Roth at nroth@gmu.edu to register after 9:00am the first day to add classes--November 5, 2013.
This course is designed as an intensive exploration of the adaptaion of history to a digital environment. As such, it is a coursein applied history. Although the central goal of the course is development of an original, digital history project of professional quality, the course will also examine issues in information, technical (XHTML, CSS), and aesthetic design. The course will tackle the problems of creating interactivity and community. Be aware that this class is both a history and media course. In other words, we will begin by thinking (and writing) about good history and then proceed to learning the tools and techniques to bring history into digital form. Be also mindful that any digtal work is a collaborative venture, so be prepared to both aid others and ask for help yourself. Readings vary by semester, but some can be gleaned from previous years: http://www.archiva.net
