While teaching at RMIT University in Media Arts, Philip Brophy developed a number of course modules for the Arts History & Theory course, and also for the Sound and Soundtrack streams. These modules cover a wide range of topics, but all are connected by virtue of their research into media arts. They also indicate the research background and cultural orientation to much of Philip Brophy's own media productions. Reflecting much of his published writings, these lectures are focussed on:

A. ways of listening & seeing in time-based media; &
B. historical and contemporary examples of how high & low art forms have intergrated modernist & post-modernist concepts of immateriality, non-narrativity & non-linearity.

These modules range in size and while at RMIT Media Arts underwent various modifications over the years. Since leaving RMIT Media Arts at the end of 2003, Philip Brophy has retained a selection of these flexible modules which are now available for presentation in formal and casual situations - in either full or partial form.
