Interactive Digital Media (IDM) is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program that is run jointly with the Faculty of Information (commonly known as the iSchool) at the University of Toronto. It provides students with a foundation in the generation, diffusion and critical analysis of the social impact of new and emerging technologies. In addition to learning how to analyze and use a variety of media tools, students will focus on digital media and its information communication infrastructures. Students will learn to design and create digital artefacts and create virtual environments suitable for collaboration, communication, learning and exploration. In the fourth year, students will be required to participate in an experiential learning based project relevant to their core interests.
