Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces) WEB DESIGN

Current Course Description: Apply design theory and process to web communications. Design information architecture, interfaces, and narratives for the internet. May include work in time-based media. Prerequisite: A 221, A 223, A 250.

New Course Description: Apply design theory and process to web communications and hypermedia art. Design visual layouts, information architecture, interfaces, artwork, and narratives for the internet. Prerequisite: A 220, A 222

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): This course change proposal is part of a larger reorganization process to shift all studio art courses from 3 credits to 4 credits. This change will enable students to complete the program efficiently in a four-year degree plan. As a result, the reduced course load will allow students to invest more time per course and increase the potential for greater progress in each subject. This change will also ease the department¿s scheduling grid, and permit increased student access to studio equipment and workspace as students prepare artwork between class sessions. This change in credits will align our program with art programs in both the 4-year universities and 2-year community colleges in Oregon. Students transferring from quarter and/or semester academic programs will typically experience more accurate credit equivalencies with WOU art courses under this proposed system. To justify the change, students in A 323 are expected to engage a more comprehensive spectrum of technologies, including HTML, CSS, and basics of PHP and JavaScript/jQuery. Total number of projects and expectations for work outside of class are increased. Fundamental web design work planned for A 223 (Web Essentials) is absorbed into this course. Some significant material relating to visual design hierarchy and digital typesetting from the discontinued A 221 (Typographic Structures) is absorbed here as well.

Students/Program affected: This change will affect any student enrolling in studio art courses offered by the Art Department. It will particularly affect any student seeking a BA, BS, or BFA degree or minor offered by the Art Department, with the exception of art history.
