I'm thinking about creating a course on multiplatform communicating, or the rhetoric of the interface. The goal would be to help students understand how the way you engage with the media technology impacts your understanding of the information being communicated, and what it says about who the intended users are. The idea would be for them to develop multiplatform communication projects, so understanding the role of the interface in content creation and dissemination. So it could draw in literature from various fields: psychology of perception, film studies, HCI, social informatics, etc. If anyone has any ideas for good literature, then I would be glad to hear it.
