Content
This course aims at teaching students how to make a semiotic analysis of web sites in an autonomous way.
To do that, the course presents:
To do that, the course presents:
- basic notions and concepts of semiotics, in order to apply it to the digital world;
- some considerations on some concepts and notions that are important to understand the digital world from a semiotic point of view (in particular, the screen as a text, multimediality, interactivity, distinction between text and paratext);
- the components of a semiotic analysis grid for web sites, specifically from a comparative point of view.
Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
Lectures, reading of texts, accompanied exercises, individual and group practical work.Green code: activities and sessions mainly face-to-face. Yellow code: activities and sessions partly distance and partly face-to-face, if the number of students allows it. Orange code: mainly distance learning activities.
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
2 point: active participation to the course (the precise modalities will be communicated at the beginning of the course). Failure to obtain these two points implies having to retake the examination at the second session.
18 points: production of a written report analyzing a website, done partly individually and partly in groups (the report produced by each group includes collective parts and individual parts). Part of the final grade is collective (5 points), another part is individual (13 points). Participation in group work is mandatory. A deficiency on the individual part of the work implies having to retake the examination at the second session (this rating becomes the final overall rating of the first session).
Second session: if all the students who form a working group must retake the exam, they must repeat the analysis and submit a new analysis report (which counts for 18 points); if only one or more members have a deficiency rating, they must represent only their individual part of the analysis, and therefore only their individual part of the group report (which counts for 13 points), and in this case the part of the rating for the collective part is retained. The points of the active participation to the course are preserved, if they have been obtained; if the student who has to retake the exam has not obtained the two points of active participation to the course, he must carry out additional individual work.
