Digital Media is a general education course at Georgia Gwinnett College in which students learn about different types of media in sound, graphics, video and animations and their digitization processes. Students are required to use various software to create and manipulate digital documents of those media types. In this session I will present how open source software such as GIMP, Audacity, Inkscape and Blender and some free software are used for teaching digital media production and editing skills and how hands on activities are designed and used to effectively engage students in this course.
