ENGL 410 - DIGITAL LITERACIES |
This class will examine the meaning of literacy in the digital age by examining, through the lens of technical communication, various modes of composition. Through readings and online discussions, the course will explore theories of cultural convergence and how we produce and consume information. As students discover new technologies such as blogs, social media, Twitter, YouTube, wikis, podcasts and others as they emerge, they will learn how to transform theory into practical application using the various media. While students are developing these functional literacies, they will also examine the technologies critically and rhetorically, learning not only how to use a technology- why and when. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 112.
