[csaa-forum] Online teaching opportunity

[Jennifer Webb]

Dear all

The University of Canberra offers a coursework masters, delivered online, in
new media. 
One of the units is called 'Reading Media' and, due to ill health, we need
someone (in possession of a masters or PhD) to teach it this coming
semester. 
It would involve about 3 hours a week, taught from anywhere you like (since
it's online delivery) and the teaching materials are all prepared.
If you think you might be both interested and available, do contact. Failing
that, if you know anyone who might be both interested and suitable, please
pass it on. I would need to know by later this week, since semester starts
on July 17.

Best, Jen


Syllabus
This subject develops advanced media literacy in a variety of media
representations and products - films, photographs, television programs,
multimedia works, sound programs, web pages - and focuses in particular on
the ability to offer critical comment and analysis of a single work. Several
strategies are employed to investigate how media products work. Key formal
and aesthetic issues are examined in relation to a mix of media forms. The
issues are approached not only at the analytical and theoretical levels, but
also historically via the development of genres and other conventional
structures. The question of style - what it is and how it affects both
quality and comprehension - is also central.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this subject students will have: an historical
understanding of the development of different media forms; the capacity to
critically analyse and evaluate media products in terms of their formal
structure, generic conventions and stylistic characteristics; an
understanding of the place of media in the broad framework of communication
and cultural studies.
