Students will learn basic innovation theory and how it is related to communication theory, how new media affects innovation (user led innovation, open innovation), the innovation process (collaboration and networking) and how innovation for new media (games, web apps, mobile apps, social networking) happens. We will undertake a case study/field project in the first part of this course (an inquiry into opportunities for mobile applications and augmented reality in museums). We will then take these ideas and use them as the basis of our participation in “48 hours of innovation,” an international contest for students interested in testing their innovation skills.
