NEW! Experimental Assignment
This assignment leverages multimedia technology and communication tools to help make meaning of the public interface of planning, while at the same time deepening students’ understanding of the role that digital storytelling can play in unpacking complex planning ideas.
The utilization of video is becoming more and more commonplace in the planning field as a means to:
-
- mobilize public campaigns and programs;
- educate the public on planning terms and concepts;
- disseminate information pertaining to policies and regulations.
