Abstract

In this chapter I compare and contrast lessons concerning how to integrate key cultural concepts into digital design in two separate classes: an undergraduate Digital Media course taught in the United States and a graduate Visual Anthropology course taught in Peru. The experience demonstrated that the approach requires students to engage with new ideas and perspectives to learn how to leverage visual, textual, and interactive elements to convey cultural heritage.
