The aim of this article is to report an example of Edusemiotics. It introduces a course on the background, goals, and reality of new media education in undergraduate courses. Semiotics and liberal education have something in common, interdisciplinary nature, and the point of contact gave rise to Edusemiotics. New media semiotics participates in the transformation of liberal education while enhancing human creativity and subjectivity even in the era of digital innovation by critically accepting the aspects of digital communication that continue to innovate. Through the study of new media semiotics, students enrolled in undergraduate programs have transformed from indiscriminate consumers of digital civilization into producers and consumers who critically accept it.
