Students will study emerging visual technologies that extend, replace and enhance realities (virtual, augmented and mixed reality applications). They will learn the fundamentals of programming, both the back-end and front-end development of websites, as well as mobile app development. Create and customize the delivery of web content on desktop computers and mobile platforms.

Assiniboine Community College's experienced instructors encourage students to develop their digital craft, to learn new and better ways to create interfaces and apps that are impactful, results-oriented and interesting. Students will gain skills in project management, persuasive communication and proposal writing, as well as in writing, designing, image editing and coding web, mobile, animation and basic game development.

Every assignment in this program has a purpose: constantly create, collaborate and communicate. Students will work with real-life clients at the in-house creative shop, listening and providing solutions to their business challenges. During their Capstone, they can choose a project to focus on, and then develop and present an integrated, creative and independent project. In the final year, students specialize and develop expertise in XR Solutions.

In addition to countless community-based assignments and projects, an eight-week practicum at the end of the program helps connect students to industry contacts. Assiniboine Community College places students at agencies and companies in Manitoba and across Canada. Graduates have gone on to do notable things, like work on blockbuster films, video games and digital designs to support big ad campaigns.
