Introduction to Computing I will be delivered in a remote, asynchronous mode. All course lectures are pre-recorded so students can move through the material at their own pace during the shorten summer session. The course syllabus, assignments, support files, etc. will be available through Canvas.
I will be available during the shorten summer session to answer questions, help students with individual instructions, etc. I will have extended office hours (including evenings) to meet with students at their convenience. I have found that this format works well for summer courses since students tend to have other commitments (jobs, internships, vacations, etc.) during the summer sessions.
Programs in the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects and InDesign) along with Axure RP will be used during the course. These are available through the College of Design’s vLab (mycloud.gatech.edu). If a student wants to have the programs on their own computer, they would have to purchase an educational subscription for the Adobe Creative Suite ($19.99 monthly). The College of Design does have a free, educational license for Axure RP. Both Mac and Window versions are available for all the software used in the course.
