"Consociating people, information and libraries."
New Course for Fall 2007: LIS 688-01: Information Graphics (Greensboro campus)
LIS 688G-01: Information Graphics
This course provides participants with the skills, practices, and underlying theory necessary to design and create effective information displays. Hands on experiences in the use of paint, draw, desktop publishing, and animation programs are integrated with learning of concepts from perception, cognition, and pedagogy in developing knowledge objects for schools, businesses, hospitals, and other sectors of society. Media development tools used in the course include Adobe Photoshop Elements, Inkscape, Adobe InDesign 2.0, and Adobe Flash Professional 8.0.
This class will be taught by Visiting Associate Professor William Kealy. Dr. Kealy comes to us from the University of South Florida where he has taught video production and interactive media courses since 2000. Prior to that, he has taught at Florida State University, Texas A&M, and Ithica College. He earned his PhD in learning and instructional technology from Arizona State University in 1989, his MEd in Educational communications and technology from the University of Hawaii in 1984, and a BFA from The Cooper Union in 1972. He has published extensively in the area of instructional technology. He is also teaching LIS 635 Media Production Services for Library Programs for us in the fall.
