WRTG 5830 - Digital Publishing and Editing

The course instructs students in the techniques and technologies used in the publishing industries.

Classes are conducted in a designated editing lab and students are taught layout and design on Adobe's InDesign software (the industry standard). Students in the course work with community partners to produce professional articles, press releases, and published documents. The course also covers digital publication for online and digital reading devices.
