Prerequisites: Multimedia Studio I or equivalent. Unofficial transcript submission required.

Description: 6 semester credits. The second level of the multimedia studio course focuses on the experience of producing complete, contemporary multimedia works in an artistic, project-based environment. Through a variety of media-related hardware and software, hands-on practice, and instructor supervision, students acquire the necessary skills for advanced-level projects. The creative process is emphasized as an individual process in order for students to develop mature visual identities and expressions in multimedia contexts. This course includes experiential learning hours with our Community Engagement Member Institutions (CEMI). CEMI are dynamic learning environments created to foster learning through a structured interaction with the community. In addition to regular lecture hours, students will be involved in learning by doing through real projects and integration with the local population and territory in order to remove cultural and learning barriers as well as to develop a strong likelihood for success in life. The experiential learning hours are fully supervised by instructors who track students step by step during their learning experience, monitor and advise according to student needs, and support student initiative. This unique learning model allows students to benefit from an all-encompassing educational experience based on theory and practice in real enterprises, learning of comprehensive operational processes, problem-solving, leadership, and management. Prerequisites: Multimedia Studio I or equivalent.
