Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

[JOB] New Media adjunct course at LaGuardia CC

  • Posted by Matthew K. Gold (he/him) on September 1, 2014 at 9:39 pm

    From Richard Dragan at LaGuardia:

    We are trying to staff a last-minute opening for course in Web Interactivity in New Media at LaGuardia.

    This course meets on Tuesdays / Thursdays at LaGuardia from 1:00 pm – 3:15 pm from Sept. 4th – Dec. 15th this Fall.

    HUW162 Web Animation and Interactivity
    3 credits; 4 hours (3 lecture, 1 lab)
    The student will learn to design effective web sites using multimedia elements such as audio, video and animation. Each student is required to develop and publish web content in order to prepare for a career in New Media. Students will further explore web animation and interactivity via database connectivity, graphics and scripting to develop rich media applications and sites. The lab portion will require the completion of a final project that demonstrates mastery of the material covered.

    We would greatly appreciate any leads / referrals here. We can provide sample syllabi and advice from our established faculty with this course to help out anyone who takes this on. (Usually the course is taught using some knowledge of After Effects, but using Flash would also be acceptable.) There would be an opportunity to keep teaching with us. (We are expanding into digital journalism and game / app development, as well as traditional New Media courses. We will have four separate tracks and nearly 200 students.) I hope to add an ‘Introduction to the Digital Humanities’ elective, as well.

    If you have anyone in mind, please have him/her contact me at richdragan@gmail.com.

    Thank you for any help, and have a good start to the new semester.

    All best,

    Richard
