The purpose
of this course is to provide you with a background in interactive
multimedia/hypermedia research with specific emphases on (1)
identifying major research issues in the field (2) examining
major research findings (3) understanding appropriate theoretical
frameworks and (4) conducting research in one's own interest
area.
The course
has four components: (1) Through readings and discussions,
students are expected to become familiar with major research
issues and findings as well as appropriate theoretical frameworks
for interactive multimedia/hypermedia research; (2) through
critiquing articles, students are expected to be familiar
with research design components and develop the ability to
evaluate research critically ; (3) through various hands-on
experiences using interactive multimedia technology, students
are expected to understand the importance of research and
identifying areas/issues for further examination; and (4)
through conducting a research project, students are expected
to combine theories, knowledge of research design and practical
experience in investigating a topic of one's own choice. The
contexts for this course will be primarily interactive, collaborative,
multi-disciplinary, and student-centered.
