This Moving Image Archive Studies (MIAS) seminar, taught by REMAP’s Jeff Burke, explored technologies, design approaches, and motivations for creating online, media-supported critical essays using “off-the-shelf” tools and Internet standards. Students focussed their work on a quarter-long project related to their ongoing research, intended to be expanded after the class to fulfill MIAS thesis requirements.
Established in 2002, UCLA’s MIAS master’s degree program is jointly sponsored by UCLA’s Film and Television Archive, Department of Information Studies, and Department of Film, Television and Digital Media.
The course was a first step towards supporting an interactive, digital-portfolio/critical-essay component for MIAS MA requirements.
