This SMArt Communications Masterclass is a four-part, hands-on
series (Thurs. May 20 - Tues. June 1, 2021) instructed by Dr. Kim
Nelson (School of Creative Arts) and Prof. Nick Hector
(SoCA/Communications, Media and Film). In this primarily hands-on
Masterclass, you will learn the art and craft of media and film
messaging using ubiquitous technology: your smart phone and
computer. The class will be delivered on-line through Blackboard.
Each session will include a synchronous media-rich lecture that
presents a theoretical framework. You will probe these ideas by
working independently to design, film, and edit a short creative
exercise focused on any STEM topic of your choice. Finally, you
will post the result on Blackboard and exchange views on peer works
in a respectful collaborative learning environment. Students are
expected to attend all four sessions. Participants who complete all
four sessions will receive a formal Recognition of Completion from
the Faculties of Science and Engineering. Open to all University of
Windsor students.
