Are online encounters different from face-to-face encounters? Are online communities 'real' communities? How do online identities relate to offline identities? This unit of study introduces students to key perspectives, themes and debates in the expanding world of cyberspace and cyberspace communities including social networking sites, games and virtual worlds. Students will also investigate how new forms of user-generated content and participatory media are shaping our cyberworld experiences. This unit of study introduces students to key concepts and methodologies in computer games and simulation. It combines critical and historical readings in games studies, new media theory and interaction design with hands-on exercises. This Unit of Study has been designed to give students in the Bachelor of Arts Informatics and the Bachelor of Arts (Digital Technology and Culture) the opportunity to apply and develop the skills and knowledge they have gained in their Information Systems major. Students will research and develop a detailed proposal for a digital cultures project. This will give students in the BAI/BADTC the opportunity to apply, extend and inter-relate the skills and knowledge they
have gained from their Information Systems major, their Arts major, and Digital Cultures units. This proposal will form the basis of the project in ARIN3660.
New media technologies such as the Internet, databases and even word processors are associated with transformations of knowledge generation, management and consumption practices. This unit of study offers students practical skills in using information and communication technologies for research, and uses recent critical new media and cyberculture theory to explore the implications of these technologies and techniques for wider intellectual and cultural practices. This unit provides essential knowledge and skills for all students interested in contemporary research. This is a social moodle for postgraduate students in the Digital Cultures program.
The contexts and practices of production for the World Wide Web.
This unit of study introduces students to a diverse range of art practices that utilise new digital media including: interactive art works, digital media installations, net art and art and science projects. Students will learn about the aesthetic and technical dimensions of new digital technologies and will develop the critical and analytical tools with which to discuss and evaluate digital art works. Following on from research and developing proposals in ARIN3650, you work in teams to develop a Digital Cultures project for a client.
Become a researcher of cultural changes in a digital world.
Is the network the distinctive mode of organisation for the 21st century? The Internet is the paradigmatic mode of decentralised many-to-many communication that interconnects with the century-old telecommunications and broadcasting networks. Geopolitical networks have displaced left/right Cold War oppositions. Social and professional networks extend influence beyond traditional institutional and family allegiances. Network models have challenged rationalist rule-governed models of thought and practice. The interdisciplinary critical analysis of current research, theory and debates will allow students to understand and evaluate the significance of networks in the contemporary world. Why study Exploring Digital Cultures? Computers are platforms for social interaction, work and entertainment. They exist in the cultural imagination as well as in our homes and workplaces. This unit of study analyses computers as culture, giving insights into human-technology interactions, and the past, present and future of digital culture and communication.

This course on The Human Right to Adequate Food will build knowledge and skills for the practical application of human rights to governance at every level, from the local to the global. Following a review of the meaning of governance, the discussion will be concretized and illustrated through close examination of the human right to adequate food. Overall, the primary objective is to help participants learn how to design rights-based social systems, and how to assess and recommend improvements for existing systems.
 Despite the exponential growth in human rights law over the past 60 years, human rights are still being abused and arguments continue over whether human rights are indeed universal, inalienable and indivisible, particularly with regard to their implementation. This unit explores the philosophy and development of the idea of human rights, and the international human rights regime as a means of promoting peace with justice. Legal instruments and mechanisms, political strategies, humanitarian challenges and moral imperatives for implementing human rights locally and internationally will be identified and discussed. Debates considered will include those surrounding the universality and indivisibility of human rights, the ethics of humanitarian intervention, the role of civil society and global responsibilities, as well as specific rights such as those of refugees, indigenous peoples, and women. Throughout the course, we will analyse and identify strategies for improving the protection and attainment of human rights both locally and globally.
