You will explore Scotland’s rich history and social concerns by participating in workshops with local artists and authors, 参观博物馆, and experiencing sites in the Highlands ranging from 20th century Arctic exploration vessels, 到中世纪的城堡, 到新石器时代的石圈.
作者称之为“多模式”,设计师将其标记为“跨媒体”,” artists are inspired by Will Eisner’s term “sequential,” but these all explore a common idea: conveying story through sequential, 经常多媒体, 格式.
尽管当代, their roots burrow surprisingly deep into other times and cultures, and they create immersive narrative experiences. For the audience, the allure lies in synthesizing elements into a whole.
对于作者, the challenge is to develop elements in such a manner that the arc of the narrative universe may be experienced in a manner unique to the individual spectator.

关于嵌入式课程
传统上, “study abroad” meant that students spent a semester in another country and attended classes at an accredited university. 短期, faculty-led courses with an international travel component are viable alternatives as they offer solid academic international experiences at a reasonable cost with a reduced time commitment.
Students who are enrolled in a course within a faculty-led embedded course are taking an internationally focused class that includes a ten-day travel component. These study abroad programs are anchored on 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校’s campus with travel occurring over fall or spring break. Course material and lectures prepare students both academically and culturally for the short international excursion to the country of focus in the program.
宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校 is committed to providing meaningful opportunities to study abroad. Exposure to other cultures is a vital step toward becoming a global citizen.
The goal of the courses with an international travel component is to embed the students into the life and culture of the university and the country they visit. 因此, including international faculty and students at the host institution in academic and cultural activities is a highly regarded and critical component of all of 阿宾顿’s faculty-led programs.
