This is a handbook which assists global health educators develop their programmes for delivery online.

In the sections of Chapter 1, we’ve included interactive learning content to test your knowledge over Theater history and production, with many knowledge checks over Theatrical Worlds, Edited by Charles Mitchell, as well as Playhouse Square theaters and productions, and other theater content. This content can be used by Theater students anywhere in the world, but will be helpful to those reading Theatrical Worlds.

In Chapter 2, there are analyses of local live performance, written by CSU Theater students and Heather Caprette. They serve as examples of exemplary work for the open assignment 2, as well as provide information about performances of interest to the public theater goers. * A Note of Caution: These analyses can not be copied by other Theater students to satisfy the requirement for an assignment in a course, but will give an idea of what a well written analysis paper looks like. Copying of these assignments to turn in as your own assignment constitutes plagiarism and academic misconduct.

Chapter 3, is an example of how a group of students working together on the recreation of a scene or small part of a play can share their ideas. The part should be less than 10% of a play. The example is being produced by Heather Caprette, MFA, but in the assignment, different students would work on various aspects of the theater production. Elements recreated include: dialogue, character design, set design, stage lighting, costume design, and sound design.

This course is a seminar on creativity in art, science, and technology.

Readings in philosophy, psychology, and literature are part of the course.

Film Arts: American Film History Canvas Commons Course

FA 256: American Film History
American Film History is an introductory course designed to
bring American film into clear focus as an art form, a business,
and a cultural phenomenon. The course explores how feature
films work technically, artistically, and culturally. The course will
probe the deeper meaning of American movies — the hidden
messages of genres, the social and psychological effects of
Hollywood film style, and mutual influence of society and popular
culture.

This course concentrates on close analysis and criticism of a wide range of films, from the early silent period, classic Hollywood genres including musicals, thrillers and westerns, and European and Japanese art cinema. It explores the work of Griffith, Chaplin, Keaton, Capra, Hawks, Hitchcock, Altman, Renoir, DeSica, and Kurosawa. Through comparative reading of films from different eras and countries, students develop the skills to turn their in-depth analyses into interpretations and explore theoretical issues related to spectatorship.

This course examines problems in the philosophy of film as well as literature studied in relation to their making of myths. The readings and films that are discussed in this course draw upon classic myths of the western world. Emphasis is placed on meaning and technique as the basis of creative value in both media.

Filosofía arendtiana e Inteligencia artificial

Short Description:
Trae a la luz temas de vanguardia y que requieren urgente atención bajo la lupa filosófica, en una visión totalmente diferente de las dos posturas predominantes hasta el día de hoy en el estudio de lo político (izquierda y derecha) y busca dar soluciones nuevas a un contexto distinto. Se plantean nuevos esquemas de poder y se presta a una gran controversia pero también a un nutrido debate.

Long Description:
Se trata de un ejercicio filosófico pero también de gran utilidad epistemológica, pues fija una postura muy clara respecto al papel de la Filosofía en el estudio de lo político, así como, frente a la Teoría y la Ciencia Política. Rescata el valor de la Filosofía (no sólo mediante una afirmación, sino además mediante un ejercicio práctico), más que como “madre de todas las ciencias”, como fuente constante e indispensable de saber para nutrir, al menos a las ciencias políticas y sociales, específicamente las Relaciones Internacionales y nutrirse de éstas para consolidar categorías de pensamiento. De ese modo teje un puente interdisciplinario. Lo anterior hace que no sea necesario ser ni filósofo, ni arendtiano para interesarse en el tema, pero igualmente rescata algunas de las categorías de la alemana y les da un enfoque totalmente actual. Trae a la luz temas de vanguardia y que requieren urgente atención bajo la lupa filosófica, en una visión totalmente diferente de las dos posturas predominantes hasta el día de hoy en el estudio de lo político (izquierda y derecha) y busca dar soluciones nuevas a un contexto distinto. Aún si a partir de categorías arendtianas, se hacen afirmaciones totalmente innovadoras en filosofía política, se plantean nuevos esquemas de poder y se presta a una gran controversia pero también a un nutrido debate.
