This is a programming course in Java for students who have previous programming experience in Java, C or C++. Students will be introduced to a variety of advanced topics such as inheritance, polymorphism, interface design, threads, and design patterns. Object-oriented concepts will be covered in great detail, but 123 assumes general familiarity with basic programming concepts. 

Students work alone and in teams to create high-quality publishable animated pieces using three-dimensional graphics technology. Techniques include digital editing, sound, music, design, modeling, rendering, surfaces, textures, and lighting.

This course teaches students how use the Adobe programs Flash and Flex. Students will learn how to build online videogames similar to those found on AddictingGames.com in Flash. Students also learn how to build database driven web applications in Flash and Flex. Individual projects are assigned every three weeks, as well as a final project at the end of the semester.  To take this class you must have an understanding of programming concepts and techniques and also be a highly motivated learner.

This course is designed to provide an introduction to the fundamental preoccupations of the field of Learning Media and Technology (LMT), as well as to take participants on a journey through the "cutting edge" of Media, Technology, and Education.  This field is a subset of the discipline of Education primarily concerned with the integration of technology and learning through the study and development of theories and practices in Pedagogy, Cognitive Studies, Computer Science, Communications, Media and the Arts, Sociology, Cultural Studies, and various aspects of Design. 

Course introduces the principles of digital image analysis for interpreting remotely sensed data for environmental, resource and urban studies.  Emphasis will be given to the processing and information extraction from optical and thermal imagery.

Digital storytelling, blogging, mirco-blogging, and social media affect how people get their news and are becoming more relevant than TV and radio.  Class members will survey current trends in the online space and in mainstream media to see what works and what does not work for consumers.  Students will explore basic HTML programming, the fundamentals of graphic design and the semiotics of information design for online publications. 

Elementary study of the literature and techniques of electronic music. Extensive listening assignments in the serious electronic repertory: elementary composition projects for tape and analog synthesizer. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
