Title: Increasing Digital Media Student Productivity and Engagement
Instructor: Jeremy Roden
Course Description: Visualization and entertainment technologies such as Autodesk® Softimage®, Autodesk Maya® and Autodesk 3ds Max® are constantly evolving and improving with each version. These innovative technologies are driving the entertainment industry into the next generation of revenue-generating projects. Unfortunately, students learning to use these products are frequently subjected to a barrage of tutorials that do not teach them the necessary skills of good design, problem solving, and adaptation. In this class we will cover curriculum design, talk about how to inspire students, and explain how to build student development teams. We will talk about how to increase student engagement and productivity in the classroom so that graduates are prepared to enter the entertainment industry.
