Raymond McCord teaches MED 290 Fundamentals of Multimedia Design for the Department of Media, Journalism and Film.  He brings his professional experience into the classroom teaching students coding skills that are necessary for the design and creation of interactive web media.  His teaching style is very experiential and the course is structured around a workflow that mimics a real-world experience. By the end of the semester, students have a completed project for their portfolio.  Professor McCord is always available to his students, often creating multiple examples to ensure students know how to accomplish or overcome an issue. One student shared that they didn’t think they could “learn to code being a media student, but I now feel I am on the right path with a great skill that makes me more hire-able.”
