  Course Details  
   
course description

Interactive Digital Communication (COMM 2555) is a foundation class for the .ids program and a core class for General Communication Studies students. The class gives students a solid foundation in creative digital production skills and creative problem solving, and prepares students for the 21st century workplace. Students learn Photoshop to manipulate digital images; HTML, CSS, and the content management system WordPress to master the design and coding of websites; After Effects to get a taste of motion graphics and animation; and emailer services such as MailChimp to understand some of the most popular visual tools for business and organizations. But it’s not just a skills class - students also learn about visual design, writing, and graphic design history to give them powerful visual communication strategies to amplify their ability to articulate and digitally communicate big ideas.

By the end of the semester you will be able to:
  • Demonstrate an understanding of basic technological principles of the Internet and the World Wide Web.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of basic principles of graphic and web design.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of basic issues dealing with digital copyright.
  • Become proficient at using an image editing program to create and modify digital images.
  • Become proficient at using HTML and CSS to structure, position, and style the content of a web page following web standards.
  • Create a web site and upload it to a server.
  • Demonstrate a working knowledge of the following software: text editor, image editing program, FTP client, web-based database administration tool, web-based content management system.
  • Setup and configure, administer, and manually customize a web-based content management system.
  • Become an effective collaborator and self-learner.

F          below  60

LATE ASSIGNMENTS
Please save work and be responsible for all saved work. Assignments handed in past the due date will not be counted. 

ATTENDANCE
The responsibility for attending classes rests with the student. As the citizens of Iowa have every right to assume, students at UNI are expected to attend class. This idea is neither novel nor unreasonable. Students should realize that an hour missed cannot be relived, that work can seldom be made up 100%, and that made-up work seldom equals the original experience in class. Please don't ask any UNI instructor: "did I miss anything important?" Please don't expect a professor to "re-teach" a missed class during office hours. You are responsible from finding out--from your peers--what you missed. Please refer to UNI's General Attendance Guidelines. __________________________________________________________

 

ATTENDANCE POLICY 
As noted in the UNI Catalog, “Students are expected to attend class, and the responsibility for attending class rests with the student. Students are expected to learn and observe the attendance rules established by each instructor for each course. Instructors will help students to make up work whenever the student has to be absent for good cause; this matter lies between the instructor and student. Whenever possible, a student should notify the instructor in advance of circumstances which prevent class attendance.” (http://www.uni.edu/catalog/acadreg.shtml#attendance)

Attendance will be recorded for this course, and all unexcused absences will figure into the final grade.  Attendance will also factor in the Participation part of the students’ grade.

A note on missing classes:  If students miss class for a reason other than severe illness or other extenuating circumstances, it is NOT the instructor’s responsibility to re-teach material to students during office hours.  Students missing class are responsible for making up all class instruction and activities and for finding out from peers what they missed. _________________________________________________________

 

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT  
Plagiarism, cheating, improperly sourced work, and other academic misconduct will not be tolerated.  The UNI Catalog is clear on this: “Students at the University of Northern Iowa are required to observe the commonly-accepted standards of academic honesty and integrity. Except in those instances in which group work is specifically authorized by the instructor of the class, no work which is not solely the student's is to be submitted to a professor in the form of an examination paper, a term paper, class project, research project, or thesis project. Cheating of any kind on examinations and/or plagiarism of papers or projects is strictly prohibited. Also unacceptable are the purchase of papers from commercial sources, using a single paper to meet the requirement of more than one class (except in instances authorized and considered appropriate by the professors of the two classes), and submission of a term paper or project completed by any individual other than the student submitting the work. Students are cautioned that plagiarism is defined as the process of stealing or passing off as one's own the ideas or words of another, or presenting as one's own an idea or product which is derived from an existing source.”

Code assignments
The same ethical guildelines that apply to text and multimedia assignments, apply to coding assignments. You will be expected to understand the code you submit as your own, unless otherwise indicated.

CLICK HERE FOR UNI'S ACADEMIC ETHICS POLICY.

__________________________________________________________

 

WORK EXPECTATIONS
 The College guideline is that one semester hour of credit is the equivalent of approximately three hours of work (class time + out-of-class preparation) each week over the course of a whole semester. In a typical lecture/discussion course, each hour of class normally entails at least two hours of outside preparation for the average student. That means that for every week students should set aside 6 hours outside of class to work on classwork. This standard is the basis on which the Registrar's Office assigns hours of University credit for courses.
