ARTM 3103 @ UNCC

Banks 4 Comments UNCC

I will be teaching a class called Animation and Interactivity this Fall at my alma mater, UNC Charlotte. Here is how the school's directory describes the course:

ARTM 3103. Animation and Interactivity. Emphasis on the tools, techniques, and software used in the creation of interactive multimedia and animation, especially media creation for video, the Internet, and CD-ROM.

This is the first time I have had the opportunity to teach at the collegiate level and need some help. I'm currently working on a syllabus that will focus on Flash and AS3. I'm planning on having the students do 3 or 4 projects during the course of the semester. Does anyone have any good ideas for projects? I want to have projects that are both challenging and that could be included in a professional portfolio after graduation.

I'd recommend using Learning ActionScript 3.0 as the course's textbook and making your projects reflect the work entry level Flash developers would have to do when they're entering the workforce (leaderboard ads, animated hero graphics, XML photo viewers, etc).

Maybe you can have them all do CarolinaNightlife.com ads. It's a win-win-win.

I think Will hit the nail on the head.
