- Evaluate the different suitability of media platforms and approaches in relation to computer-mediated communication in practice.
- Choose the appropriate method for investigating a particular digital media related question (for example discourse analysis, qualitative interview, questionnaire, etc.)

- Have a theoretical, methodological and analytical basis for understanding digital media and digital communications that can be converted and used in subsequent courses in the ITU.

 
Fagligt indhold:The course introduces students to communication and media theory perspectives, with particular emphasis on digital media. We will deal with specific problems, challenges and benefits associated with IT based communication.

Theoretically, the course focuses on basic communication theory, media theory, theories of computer-mediated communication, and historical and contemporary ideas about digital media and their specific
communicative potential. Communication and media research methodology is also introduced.

There will be ample opportunity to test and apply the presented theories and methods in the exercise sessions scheduled in the afternoon, where we will work with various small cases and current examples as a basis for discussion.
