About College Diploma - Interactive Design and Technology

Program Description

With technology literally reinventing the way people do things (think mobile, 3D printing, social media), now is a great time to turn interest into a career. Saskatchewan Polytechnic offers a two-year Interactive Design and Technology (IDT) diploma program. The Interactive Design and Technology program is offered full-time at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Regina Campus and Saskatchewan Polytechnic Saskatoon Campus, with some courses available online through distance learning.

Students choose one of the following specialties:

Design: Studentswill learn the skills needed to create interesting and effective graphic solutions for websites and interactive media.

Contemporary graphic design styles
User interface design
Advanced raster and vector graphic skills

Technology: Students will develop competence in building and implementing dynamically driven custom websites such as electronic catalogues and e-commerce solutions.

Database design, database management systems (DBMS) and Structured Query Language (SQL)
Server-side scripting, methods, functions
Client-side scripting and asynchronous web applications

Students will gain practical experience through online portfolio development. When they graduate, students should have their own domain, a professional presence and an online portfolio, showcasing their best work. Interactive media is being integrated in every sector: government and industry, big business and small e-commerce, education, health, sports and entertainment. Graduates are working in advertising agencies, production companies, website design firms and more.

Advanced training opens more doors. In the second year, students will specialize in either Design, which can lead to a career as a graphic artist, graphic interface designer, new media developer or web developer, or in Technology, can lead to jobs in web and e-commerce as designers, developers and programmers. Interactive media production careers include content developer, interactivity specialist and web developer.
