This course explores the practical intersection of media and education by examining their interplay within three prominent domains of cultural practice - the relationship between media and mass education, the role of media in classroom teaching, and the pedagogies of media literacy. Seminars will focus discussion on the history, genres, pedagogical design and evaluation issues that emerge in each domain. Students will be expected to work in teams designing, producing and evaluating communications in each field of educational practice: educational media; media in education; and media literacy.
