Description

This project-based course introduces students to a wide range of e-publishing technologies and authoring tools. It covers a variety of free and commercial e-publishing resources for accessing, creating, and formatting e-books. Students learn how to choose appropriate authoring tools depending on the available hardware, targeted audience, and the level of desired multimedia content interactivity. The course first examines the impact of interactive e-publications on education and business as well as application of major e-publishing formats. Then students concentrate on locating and sharing e-publications of various genres. The last component of the course involves utilizing authoring tools for interactive fiction, textbooks, magazines, posters and pamphlets. (New course Fall 2015.)
