This unit examines the forms, cultures, and practices of cross-media or hybrid production, where producers use multiple technologies, media forms, and modes of audience interaction to deliver a single work. Students consider and evaluate the relationships between media elements and participatory audiences that characterize such works and develop a critical understanding of current practice and theory in a cross-media production. Students apply that understanding working in collaborative teams to integrate networked, linear, and interactive elements into prototype cross-media projects.
