Digital Media In-Class Exercises

In all of my classes, I assign a number of in-class exercises throughout the semester. Students are required to complete these in class under my supervision, or else they do not receive credit for the assignment. In-class exercises are an integral part of my “flipped classroom” approach and provide the students with lots of hands-on opportunities with the concepts.

Below are the in-class exercises I typically assigned to my Digital Media classes at Georgia Gwinnett College.

  1. Icebreaker & Classroom Tech
  2. Affordances
  3. Inkscape & GIMP
  4. Numbering Systems
  5. Digital Image Hardware
  6. Audacity
  7. Digital Audio Calculations
  8. iMovie & Windows Movie Maker – Students are instructed to choose one version of this assignment out of the three offered.
  9. Digital Video Calculations & Hardware
  10. Blender
  11. Ethics in Digital Media

GGC Wiki Page

GGC Wiki Home Page for Joshua Cuneo

I use wikis in all of my classes and extensively in some. I find the wiki to be a convenient place to post calendars, study guides, and FAQs. For my Digital Media classes, this is also where I post project instructions and where students post their finished projects. Click on any section to see the content that I and my students have posted for that class.

Digital Media Lecture Videos

Digital Media Lecture Video Playlist

For my Digital Media class, I created a series of online lecture videos as part of a flipped classroom experiment. This effort has met with great success, as the students love having the lectures as a point of reference when working on a project or studying for a quiz or exam. I’ve shared this list with other members of the GGC faculty so that they can use them in their classes as well, if they wish.
