Industry professionals recognize Sheridan as the best interactive multimedia college in Canada. The Coordinator of the Sheridan Interactive Multimedia Graduate Certificate Program, Dan Zen, was named “Educator of the Year” at the 2008 Canadian New Media Awards for his pioneering curriculum in interactivity, social media, mobile technology, and Flash programming.

Build Environments from the Ground Up
Students learn to build interactive multimedia environments from the ground up, using the latest versions of software such as Flash, DreamWeaver, PHP, MySQL, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects. The curriculum covers traditional digital media as well as emerging technologies and alternative interfaces such as mutitouch, gesture capture, and mediated reality.
Students acquire valuable experience by working with real-world clients, managing a complete project through all phases—from needs analysis to conceptualization, visual design, prototyping, development, testing, and on-time delivery. Past clients have included the Canadian Football League (CFL), Ontario Block Parent, the Art Gallery of Hamilton, and the Miss Canada Pageant.
Classes are small and intimate, ensuring plenty of direct student-instructor interaction. There’s no better place to prepare for an interactive multimedia career. Come see why Sheridan is widely recognized as the best.
Interactive Multimedia program courses are held at the Trafalgar Road Campus in Oakville, Ontario.
