In IAT 313 Narrative and New Media, students learn to shape their ideas into compelling and well-structured narratives and complex story worlds. Students explore the role of narrative in both traditional linear environments and multi-linear interactive media environments. Student teams worked on diverse final projects related to their own areas of interest, such as film, animation, interactive graphic novels, video games, tabletop RPGs, scroll-telling websites, and spec ads, among others. In these projects audience interaction with the work is looked at through the lens of narrative.
