Building Information Modeling 101 (OpenLearning)

Offered by Taylor's University,

Welcome to Taylor’s School of Design & Architecture (SABD) Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). In this course, Building Information Modeling 101, your instructor Bruce Lee will share with you the fundamentai concepts of building information modeling (BIM) and with his guidance you will model a simple shelter with BIM software.

Learners are expected to review the lesson in form of video/pdf/ppt slides and participate in the course activities in form of forum, or quizzes in several formats in order to receive the certificate of completion.
At the end of the lesson, learners will be able to:

Understand and describe the fundamental concepts of building information modeling (BIM).
Model a simple shelter with building information modeling(BIM) software.

Transmedia Storytelling: Narrative worlds, emerging technologies, and global audiences (Coursera)

Film & Audio

Transmedia storytelling is the practice of designing, sharing, and participating in a cohesive story experience across multiple traditional and digital delivery platforms - for entertainment, advertising and marketing, or social change. Have you ever read a book, seen a movie, watched a television show, or played a game that centred around different aspects of a larger story or universe? You may be familiar with popular examples of such universes like Star Wars, Marvel, and The Walking Dead (to name a few). How do the professionals develop such expansive narratives? How do they ensure that each element stays true to the original story? How do they innovatively use different technologies to share the stories, grow audiences and create an active and involved community of fans?
