Course contents
The course topics are: basic computer science (history of numerical computation, binary algebra, Boolean algebra, computer structure, operating systems, Internet), digital audio (basics of acoustic, sampling, digital audio formats), digital images (structure of a digital image, black / white images, color images, color theory, digital image processing, bitmaps, vector images, lossy and lossless compression, image file formats), digital video (characteristics of a digital movie, shooting techniques, video compression, video standard, video formats, techniques of non-linear editing)
Teaching methods
The theoretical study is integrated from the critical analysis of numerous case studies and validated by the immediate practical experimentation (acquisition, processing, presentation, storage, transmission).

Workshop: the workshop will concern tools and techniques for produce and edit Digital Audio, Digital Images, desktop and web publishing, through the production of a group project. Each group (from 2 to five members) will produce, publish and publicly present a "soundscape" project.
