Honors College 297DH - ST-Intro/New Media Production

This class will teach students the skills necessary to produce, disseminate, publicize, and monetize textual, audio, and video programs on the Internet. These skills include, designing new media programs; writing, recording, and editing new media programs; uploading, storing, serving, and backing up new media programs; software platforms for hosting new media programs; building audiences using social media; tracking audience size and behavior; and creating income streams with new media programs.

This course is open to Commonwealth Honors College students only. Students will apply what they learn by creating new media programs on the New Books Network (http://newbooksnetwork.com), a non-profit network of 100 author-interview podcasts. They will edit, compose, upload, publicize, and measure reach of interviews conducted by NBN hosts. As a final project, students will record and produce their own interviews. No prior knowledge of new media production is necessary.
