Course Description

This three credit hour course focuses on decision making in the digital audio and video information environment. This includes collection development, management, and organization with emphasis on the evaluation, selection, and use of a wide range of low to high tech audio and visual media. Issues such as access, organization, promotion, multimedia copyright, and censorship will be discussed. Multimedia literacy (i.e., visual and auditory) as well as integration of multimedia resources into the K12 and higher education curriculum and public library environment will be explored. Tools and techniques for sharing and disseminating audio and visual elements (i.e., Google sites, web pages, and social networks) will be examined. Finally, remote (i.e., video conferencing, streaming media) and emerging technologies (i.e., BlueRay, podcasts, VODs) will be highlighted.

This course will expand your thinking about the integral role of audio and video resources in a comprehensive school, academic, and/or public library setting. This course will be taught entirely online including web-based readings and resources, threaded discussions, plus online presentations containing text, audio, and video. Choices allow graduate students with varied backgrounds and interests to select activities that meet their professional needs.

Academic Misconduct

Students should be sure to read the IUPUI  Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct. This Code is intended to identify the basic rights, responsibilities, and expectations of all students and student groups to serve as a guide for the overall student experience at Indiana University.

IUPUI strives to “foster the best possible environment for teaching and learning, one that is based upon mutual respect and upon clear expectations of one another within the community of teachers and learners.” Should the faculty member detect signs of plagiarism or cheating, it is his or her most serious obligation to investigate these thoroughly, to take appropriate action with respect to the grades of students, and in any event to report the matter to the Dean of Students. The necessity to report every case of cheating, whether or not further action is desirable, arises particularly because of the possibility that this is not the student’s first offense, or that other offenses may follow it. Equity also demands that a uniform reporting practice be enforced; otherwise, some students will be penalized while others guilty of the same actions will go free. (IUPUI Academic Handbook, p200).
