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.

   While advisors confer with students about courses and
   educational experiences, students are responsible for
   defining the content of their academic program, being aware
   of all graduation requirements, and making progress toward
   an academic degree. Advisors will assist students in
   designing an appropriate course of study that will satisfy
   requirements for graduation as well as offer information on
   particular courses and University rules and procedures.
