I’m actually much more pale in person. But you can’t be sure unless you register for the class, IST 400 New Media & Social Technologies. Or, for UIUC students “ADV 400 New Media & Advertising.”

Learn more about the class in the Advance Materials and Course Presentations sections.

But here’s what to expect:

SU Students, the class starts on 1/24 when I am on campus for a 6-hour bootcamp (10a – 4p) to kick start your learning experience.

The rest of the classes will be a mix of live streaming and online lectures with some work in the computer labs. You will have an opportunity at the beginning to shape the schedule and times as a class.

iSchool students: this class counts toward the “Web Design and Management concentration” requirement.

Newhouse PR students: this class counts toward your production elective, but you have to fill out a petition since it is a new class. (Don’t worry, I had about a trillion petitions in my degree file — just make sure you get help filling it out.)

Register now: MySlice Class Number 41733 IST 400 (The class may still be called “Modern Strategies for the Information Age”)

UIUC Students, I will be teaching the class live on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00pm to 6:20pm. The class will be in a computer lab, but you are welcome to bring your laptop if you’d like.

Register now: UI Enterprise Applications Login Class Number 50207 ADV 400 Section Q as in Quailman (The class shows up as “Special Problems” and is taught by “TBD” which can only stand for This Badass Dude — I’m flattered UIUC, I really am.)
