Learning Objectives
a) Knowledge and understanding: The student will learn the basic skills of raster graphics tools and vector graphics tools; it will also need to learn the basic concepts for searching online information.
b) Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: The student will acquire the
necessary skills needed for graphic and photographic processing.
c) Autonomy of judgment: The student will be able to use at his own discretion the
tools made available by the operating system and application programs to deal with
potentially different situations.
d) Communicative Skills: The student will be able to expose the concepts of
informatics applied to cultural heritage in an organic way and by comparing with the surrounding
technology.
e) Learning Skills: The concepts and techniques learned will be used in the future to
produce professional graphic elaborations and to communicate online with social networks and CMS.

Teaching Methods
Frontal lessons and laboratory exercises.
Further information
Students unable to attend lectures - only in those cases where documented evidence of the inability to attend lectures is provided - will still have to carry out activities comparable to those carried out in classroom. They are therefore required to contact the lecturer within the first 2 weeks of class, in order to arrange a similar work.
Type of Assessment
The exam consists of an oral test during which the papers of the students will be analyzed by the lecturer, theoretical as well as practical questions will be asked, leading to a critical discussion.
Study of the reference texts is required, while consultation of the suggested further readings is recommended to both attending and non-attending students.

The course also extends tools for online communication: creating web pages through markup languages, hints of content management systems and social networks; the course also leads the student to the elaboration of works and their presentation and critical discussion at the exam.
