Formelle forudsætninger:Students are expected to be able to:
• Perform basic image editing tasks such as cropping, resizing and optimizing images
• Create a flow chart
• Explain the structure and content of a document in any markup language (for example any version of HTML)
Beyond basic knowledge of a markup, it is not required that students have programming experience, but students with no programming experience should be prepared to make an extra effort. 
Læringsmål:After completing the course the student should be able to:

  • originate and synthesise combinations of media to fit a given context

  • use appropriate tools to create an interactive multimedia production for the web, or specialised multimedia device such as a tablet

  • reflect on the suitability of interactive multimedia may be for a given communication task

 
Fagligt indhold:The course takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the nature of interactive multimedia intended for digital communication and digital experiences.
The goal of the course is to prepare students to be able to produce interactive digital solutions for the internet on pc & mobile platforms, in terms of content, design and implementation.
The course will present:

• different tools and workflows regarding prototyping, mockups & wireframes in the design process.

• a brief introduction to interaction and interface design, programmed animation, motion graphics and animation theory.

• some of the technical aspects of publishing interactive projects for the Internet and mobile devices, including an introduction to responsive design.

The course will provide an overview of both HTML-5 based and Actionscript 3 / Flash based tools for interactive design, including workflow/integration with other tools.

Students will be able to choose a preferred focus for the course. 
Læringsaktiviteter:14 ugers undervisning bestående af forelæsninger og øvelser

14 week course comprised of lectures and exercises, reading, and 2 compulsory assignments.
The lecture and exercise periods will at times be mixed.

Lectures will introduce topics such as:
• The evolution of interaction, digital media and digital platforms
• Development methodologies
• Design theory and basic digital design principles
• Motion, animation, video & sound
• Target groups / personas
• Usability & user experience
Exercises will introduce topics such as:
• Ideation, Strategies & Tools of the trade
• Defining goals and agendas
• Use cases
• Generating digital assets & optimization for the internet
• motion & interaction
• video & sound production/editing
• Production methods / common practices
• Preparation for Final Project

The exercises will introduce and demonstrate Adobe CC tools (Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Edge), enabling students to produce digital products based on HTML5, CSS and jQuery.
In connection with the final examination project, students will develop an interactive prototype, such as a website /webapp or an application for smartphones and tablets.

It is possible to work on exercises in groups and deliver exams both in English and Danish.

Der er mulighed for øvelseshold og eksamen på både dansk og engelsk.

NB!! Course restriction!!
Please note that this course used to be offered with the title Multimedia Production for the Internet - these two courses are identical and hereby block each other. That means that you cannot take this course, if you have already taken Multimedia Production for the Internet.

Failure to hand in these mandatory assignments on time will mean that the registration for examination is annulled.

These mandatory assignments and deadlines will be posted on LearnIT. 
Eksamensform og -beskrivelse:X. experimental examination form (7-scale; external exam), 7-trins-skala, Ekstern prøve

Exams constitute individual written projects without oral exam, evaluated on a 7 point grading system.

The assessment of the final project will emphasize on knowledge of production methods, possible technical solutions, functionality, content, design and the ability to reflect on the theoretical and practical relationships between technology and interactive content  

Litteratur udover forskningsartikler:Throughout the course, students will be provided with articles, videos, and other media that they will be expected to read/play/watch/explore.

Material will also be refrenced from Web Style Guide:
