Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The interactive/computational documentary
CLASS ACTIVITIES
Discussion on Read/Watch/Play/Explore materials due today
Work on your own Interactive Non-Fiction Storytelling projects (as time allows)
Gameplay from Games for Actors and Non-Actors (as time allows)
READING DUE TODAY
Games, Design and Play: A Detailed Approach to Iterative Game Design, Part II (Chapters 5-8)
Browse the MIT Open Documentary Docubase. Specifically, browse the Projects (you may also choose to browse People and Tools) in the database. There are hundreds of projects listed, so I just want you to browse the list in order to get a sense of the breadth and scope of what MIT frames as projects "transforming documentary in the digital age." (A couple of the projects on the list are assigned for close viewing due next week. Also, Use of Force (a project Poremba discussed) is in the database, so take a look at it.)
DUE TODAY
A ten-minute presentation of your Interactive Non-Fiction Storytelling work in-progress.
Friendly reminder: From now and until the end of the quarter, come to class fully prepared to work on your Interactive Non-Fiction Storytelling project.
