Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

Current practices and future directions of multimedia systems are discussed. Special attention is given to management issues involved in specifying, designing, developing, and assessing multimedia systems and to design principles that can be used to improve the quality of multimedia. This is a project-based course in which students gain experience in developing web sites, CD-ROMs, and films. Description for MIDS 415: As information becomes more abstract and therefore more difficult to perceive directly with one's sense, sonic and visual presentation become more important than ever. Designing systems that take advantage of people's aesthetic sensibilities is an area wide open to the enterprising and inventive entrepreneur. This course will interest those who think that artists have a say about how sound and graphics and words might be put together. The course examines aesthetic issues that arise in the development of multimedia. It focuses on creative integration of video, audio, and graphics particularly for the web, interactive CDs, and virtual reality. Offered as MIDS 315 and MIDS 415.
