This unit of study provides you with the technical skills to design, develop and publish an interactive website. This is done through the lecture-based presentations of technical examples that are supported by in-class exercises.
You will learn current web authoring tools such as Dreamweaver and Fireworks, and be introduced to the possibilities of scripting for design and interactivity using HTML5, CSS and JavaScript libraries. This series of workshops also covers the specifics of media preparation, with lectures dedicated to digital sound and video production for online delivery.
You are expected to apply the knowledge gained in this unit to the design and development of your major project in MMDE5001 Interactive Project Major 1.

This unit provides you with further technical skills related to the design and development of websites and interactive applications for handheld devices such as the iPad. This is done through the lecture-based presentation of technical examples that are supported by in-class exercises.
You will learn to extend the possibilities of scripting for interactivity using HTML5 and JavaScript in relation to the touch screen environment. This series of workshops also covers the specifics of media preparation for hand-held interactive tablets with lectures dedicated to digital sound and video production and delivery.
You are expected to apply the knowledge gained in this unit to the design and development of their major project in MMDE5002 Interactive Project Major 2.

The aim of this unit of study is to provide you with a theoretical understanding of New Media forms. The concept of New Media is explored in relation to interactivity, narrative, networked space and, more specifically, the Internet. The unit provides both an historical overview and critical perspective to a range of approaches and forms that have emerged in direct relationship to the possibilities of digital technology and networked space. A range of digital, interactive and internet-based art and design projects will be examined and discussed in relation to key concepts surrounding new media. This unit will allow you to conceptualise and situate your practice both in terms of media-specific debates and the broader context of contemporary art and media discourses.

This unit of study concentrates on your project proposal. The project is developed and completed over the period of the course and is supervised through individual tutorials by the course coordinator and a staff member from the relevant discipline. You are assisted in the development of your studio project through dialogue and supportive critical feedback.

This unit of study is continuation of STUD5003. You are required to further develop and complete the studio project for exhibition and final assessment.
