tailieunhanh - DESIGNING GRAPHIC DESIGN HISTORY: TEACHING FOR THE 21ST CENTURY CLASSROOM

Designing Graphic Design History: Teaching for the 21st Century Classroom undertakes the development of a web-based Graphic Design History interactive timeline (GDHit), intended as a user-generated online database for potentially all graphic design enthusiasts, but specifically faculty and students within the traditional graphic design history course. GDHit seeks to continue the implementation of new media and emerging digital technologies in a traditional, lecture- oriented environment by inviting the user (or audience) to contribute the content for the timeline, while fostering new forms of course engagement for students in this digital age. In keeping with the tenets of the digital age. | DESIGNING GRAPHIC DESIGN HISTORY TEACHING FOR THE 21st century classroom A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural Mechanical College in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in The School of Art By Phillip P.
