Pedagogy in Motion (MODE 2019)

Pedagogy in Motion (MODE 2019)

Motion resides in domains that include but also extend beyond the visual. 
 The concept of motion can be applied to sound, narrative, interaction, physical spaces, and other domains. Creating pedagogy that connects these adjoining and overlapping disciplines in a manner that is both meaningful and memorable to students is challenging.

This workshop explores experiential learning approaches underway at The University of Texas at Dallas’ School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication to more connect motion design in related areas, such as interaction design, critical media studies, new media art, and others.
