Arnold Abrams, Coordinator

Professor: Arnold Abrams

Associate Professor: Donald Kay

This program provides an in-depth exploration of how interactive multimedia and Internet content are developed and delivered. It explores the latest developments in multimedia technologies, techniques, and theory, with an emphasis on using new media for electronic publishing, computer-based training, distributed learning, corporate communications, and desktop presentations. The program also develops project management and interdisciplinary teamwork skills.

In addition to examining the hardware and software involved in creating new media, the classes explore historical perspectives, design considerations, and evolving issues in multimedia. Students gain extensive hands-on experience using both Macintosh and Windows-based computers. They work with CD-ROM, DVD, digital cameras, digital video, animation, color scanners, the World Wide Web, and authoring software. Applied multimedia classes demonstrate the numerous applications of these new technologies in a wide range of disciplines, with special consideration given to applying these tools in the student's own area of major study. Classes are suitable for students from any major.
