Becca Scollan * IDIA

I'm a graduate student in the Interaction Design and Information Architecture program at the University of Baltimore. I live at the Red Clover Collective in the Waverly neighborhood, where I do various kinds of things. I keep track of my coursework on this site. Enjoy!

IDIA 619 Interactive Multimedia w/Kathleen Harmeyer

course description: A practical and theoretical introduction to genres, strategies and techniques for producing multimedia content for the Internet. Students examine existing multimedia content while developing creative skills in one or more standard authoring systems. Background readings provide theoretical context for development of individual projects.


IDIA 614 Sequential Visualization & Analysis w/Nancy Kaplan

course description: Teaches students to use sequential visual narratives—story boards, flowcharts, prototypes, and simulations—as analysis tools for the development of information systems. The course draws on theoretical approaches to film as well as other forms of visual storytelling including animation, illustration, and comics. Through a series of practical analytical and creative projects, students learn to apply story boards and limited multimedia prototypes both to interface design and to content development.
