About
The Interactive Voice is the course blog for Professor Robert Kalm’s sections of Quinnipiac University’s graduate Interactive Communications program’s class, 506DC Writing for Interactive Media. Sections are also taught by Professors Lisa C. Nichols and Alexander Halavais.
This graduate level course exists entirely on the web to teach and explore content creation online. Students explore interactive communications by creating and experimenting with a pseudonymous identity (free from their bylines) and their own blogs and extended online personas. The professor and class communicate primarily through email, blog posts and comments, tweets under the hashtag #506iv, and other forms of social media.
Before 2011, a new course blog was created and then deleted with each semester. This is now a permanent course blog that will grow in content and community with each new semester. Lectures are written by Robert Kalm and former students. Guest lecturers are welcome to submit content. You can see inventive and remarkable examples of student participation in the course here.
If you are interested in participating in 506 or in the ICM program, please contact ICM Program Director Phillip Simon.
