Digital Media Summer Institute 2012 is on its way

1 Feb 2012

The UT Austin|Portugal Program is gearing up for Summer Institute courses.

Several UT Austin instructors are proposing courses to the summer months, and in February students will have a chance to indicate their interest in various topics. The proposals include subjects such as: scriptwriting; making documentaries; digital cinema; entrepreneurial journalism; participatory culture; human-computer interaction; trans-media franchises; new media ethnography; animation; and researching digital media users. The basic model for the courses is a three week duration, with intensive meetings of three to four hours each day of the week, plus work outside the class. These courses do carry academic credit.

We hope to offer two or three courses in Lisbon and in Porto, and will choose the final courses based on student interest. If you are interested in taking some of these, please contact one of the following persons: at UNL, Professors João Mário Grilo or Nuno Correia; at University of Porto, Professors Carlos Guedes or Heitor Alvelos.
