CS4039 Frontiers in Communication Science

Although much communication research relies on techniques such as focus groups, surveys, or simple pencil-and-paper or computer-based experimentation, there are a number of techniques that draw more heavily on other fields, and which represent ways to answer questions that are difficult to answer using more traditional approaches. This course systematically covers examples of several such techniques, and introduces approaches to exploring these and other frontiers in communication science further in the future.

A further aim is to show you a great many examples of real research, and to build a more intuitive understanding of how the scientific method works in practice.

CS4267 Effects of Virtual Reality Technologies

In this course you will learn about the concept of virtual reality and its effects on human behavior and psychology. You will learn how VR works, examine current applications of VR, and explore studies that have been conducted to help us understand its impact.

By the end of the course you should be able to:

• Understand the factors that make VR a compelling experience
• Explain the role of VR as both a tool and a medium
• Describe the potential influence of VR on individuals and society
• Examine and critically evaluate the use and impact of VR across disciplines
