Students engage in a theoretical examination of experiential media (e.g., augmented reality, virtual reality). Readings provide a perspective on the development of experiential media, including implications for the transformation of media content forms and platforms in an experiential context. Students consider methodological and critical approaches to studying experiential media.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will:

•    Understand and engage with media theory and empirical research relevant to understanding the emerging domain of experiential media.
•    Analyze the implications of experiential media for journalism, media organizations, and society, by drawing on theory, published research, case studies, and real-world examples.
•    Contribute to knowledge of experiential media through your own original research.
•    Develop research presentation skills.
