First Online Studio-Based Design Course Developed

In Digital Imaging, DELTA Multimedia Designer and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Art + Design Amanda Robertson, DELTA Instructional Designer Cathi Phillips, and Associate Professor of Art + Design Pat FitzGerald have been exploring ways to teach a critique-based design course in an online environment. This course covers a wide range of concepts, theories and skills through a variety of industry-standard software applications. It is a freshman course required of all majors in the Department of Art + Design, yet has attracted students of all majors, classes and disciplines across NC State. It was developed this past year to be taught fully online as the first critique-based distance education course in the College of Design.
