Teaching Interactive Media
I'm an experienced instructor and have lectured and run workshops on Information Architecture, Interaction Design, and Programming for Designers. I've also led training classes for all the usual digital design software packages (Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc.). Here's a list of the most interesting places and topics:
The Academy of Converging Media (Berlin, Germany, July and August 2002) had me run four days of lectures and workshops about Information Architecture and Programming for Designers as part of their innovative "content + creation" courses.
At the HyperIsland School of New Media Design (Karlskrona, Sweden, June 2002), I gave two days of lectures and workshops about Information Architecture to design students.
With my friend Stefan Smagula, I designed and taught a semester-long class called "Pixel Line Plane: Elements of Digital Craft" for the "Technology, Literacy, and Culture" department at The University of Texas at Austin. This class was based on John Maeda's Design by Numbers work at the MIT Media Lab, and was given to both undergraduates and graduate students. Our syllabus and final project assignment are online, although the student's work unfortunately is not.
I worked at UT Austin's Center for Instructional Technology in 2000, and ran more software training classes than I can remember, including classes on Macromedia's Flash, Director, Dreamweaver, and ones on Web Design and Project Management.
