Citizenship and the Environment Course
Description
This intedisciplinary couse is taught
under the Humanities HyperMedia Centre, an Acadia University project
that is under the guidance of Dr. Richard Cunningham. It is the
core course of a HyperMedia Humanities minor that is offered at
Acadia University.
The primary focus of this core course
is to introduce students to the use of hypermedia as an educational
tool. The course will start with simple concepts in hypermedia
and advance to the more complex; students will work from Microsoft
Office applications to web, video and animation throughout the
course. This examination of the use of hypermedia in academia
will be facilitated through the study of a given topic that will
alternate yearly based on the faculty participating; the topic
for the 2005-2006 year is Citizenship and the Environment.
This is a team taught course; four
professors will each teach a section of the course from the perspective
of their particular discipline and based on their interests in
hypermedia. Each faculty member is also supported by library faculty
as well as the AITT.
