COMM 365 - Digital Media in a Global Context
Prerequisites: COMM 100 and junior standing or consent of instructor
Fulfills a course requirement in the Communication & Media Studies major, and the Global Communication Minor and core Concentration
Digital Communication is the fastest growing sector of digital media worldwide. As Marshall McLuhan predicted, the Global Village, as it is constructed on the Internet, is increasingly made up of virtual centers where people congregate and communicate, and where national and social boundaries disintegrate. From Kalamazoo to Korea, online environments draw millions of users and create virtual world and “dirt world” economies. This course examines online communication such as social computing, multi-player environments and other digital communication technologies in order to develop digital media literacy and to cultivate ethical digital practices.
