Psychology 362 - Children's Media Laboratory

Institution:

Reed College

Subject:

Description:

Full course for one semester. This course will explore the creation of compelling, educationally beneficial media for young children. Conference discussion will focus on understanding both how children perceive media and how it influences their cognitive development. These discussions will then inform substantial studio projects that students will develop over the course of the semester. Such projects might include a short pilot for a new children's television or film concept, an interactive website, or something more experimental. All projects will be aimed at a particular policy or educational objective, and emphasis will be placed on using both classic artistic principles (e.g., of cinematography or narrative) and the primary research literature to make scientifically sound creative decisions. Prerequisites: sophomore standing or consent of the instructor. Studio-conference. Not offered 2009-10.
