This document outlines an academic course that involves students working in groups to create a digital media project and document their process. They will collect data on their collaboration through notes, recordings, and screenshots. Students will then write a paper discussing their experience in relation to literacy theory. Some example projects are podcasting, video editing, and animation. Students will use blogs, Google Docs, and other online tools to collaborate and share their work.
