NMD 1100 Introduction to Digital Literacies

(formerly NMD 110)

This course introduces students to historical legacies of digital literacies and their evolution. The course explores the debates, platforms and practice endemic to digital life in both individual and communal terms. Students will learn what it means to apply digital tools to humanistic inquiry, use digital tools within community-engaged service projects, interrogate histories of digital tools and their development and create work to mobilize civic action. Student work will culminate in an e-portfolio of their own design. A significant portion (at least 50%) is formal oral presentation work. This is a Communications Speech General Education course.
