Creation and Computation (3 credits)
This course provides an introduction to current and emerging prototyping and development tools in the realm of digital technology. It employs a hands-on, skills-based approach in a project context. Students gain a strong foundation in the basics of programming, physical computing, visual or screen-based computation, networking and connectivity. Specific topics are tailored to current issues. Students will leave with the technical literacy required to embark on more sophisticated projects and subsequent works in creative digital media.
Transmedia (1.5 credits)
An introductory two week immersion in which students work collectively on a transmedia project based in Toronto. A project is rapidly conceived, prototyped and showcased. The course initiates a "learning through practice" experience for new students and builds the sense of graduate community. During the course students are also introduced to the philosophy and practice of the Digital Futures program, the work of the faculty, and the previous year's student cohort.
