Monday Workshops @ IMD — Interactive Media: The Telephone
October 1 — Interactive Media: The Telephone
Instructor: Professor Julian Bleecker (julian @ techkwondo.com)
Just about everyone has a telephone, and there's one simple programming language for them all — it's called VXML (Voice XML). It's what the banks and customer service people use to program their NPCs that talk to you when you call in and get put on hold..or worse. This workshop will describe how you can use VXML to create your own interactive nightmare call-in scenarios, or perhaps something more fun.
Requires you bring a laptop with network connectivity. Limited to 12 students. Email the instructor to sign up (julian at techkwondo com)
The Monday Workshops @ IMD are a series of weekly short topic workshop on tools, skills and techniques for interactive media. The workshops are designed to be intensive and hands-on introductions to a variety of topics — to get you over that initial, sometimes daunting learning curve that many interactive media tools and techniques present.
As always, the current line up of workshops can be found on the IMD Wiki, here:
