Writing for the Web

Catalog #20801262

Writing for the Web will explore the creative potential of writing content for electronic media, which demands concise, clear, well-organized copy and an ability to operate in a nonlinear world. In this course students will develop original web content; discuss the techniques, technologies, culture and problems of publishing in a digital age; evaluate usability and organization when designing content for the web; and research online copyright law, libel law and information ethics. This three-credit, college-transfer course is primarily a writing, editing and research course, but will explore audio and graphic communication on the web, too. Students will explore blogging, podcasting and social software technology. Prerequisite: English 1, 20-801-201 or Comm. Skills 1, 10-801-151 or the instructor’s consent.
