There is going to be a change.
Having the entire class build programs from scratch is not going to get us very far in AS 3 or Flash and it will not allow us to have any discussion on the conceptual elements of Information Design and Interactive Media. While everyone is highly motivated to learn how to operate in Flash, the differences in skill levels and the number of people in the class make working from scratch impossible. This would be true even if there were only 20 people in the class.
Starting this week I will be providing you with pre-created flash applications that you can download from the web. You will be able to look at the program during class and anytime after. During class I will walk everyone through the programming and the exercise will consist of you using the the programming and devices and adding your own media elements.
This should make class time more informative, progressive and effective and allow everyone to work at their own skill level. It will also allow the more advanced users to assist the less advanced users.
I am looking forward to this change and the improvements it will bring to class. The due dates remain intact.
