- a Learning Studio Workshop

Where: Room M401 in the Media Faculty block, LCC

For more information about the workshop of the Learning Studio please contact Paul Lowe at p.lowe@lcc.arts.ac.uk

The Learning Studio is a new community of practice (CoP) around learning technology use in Art, Design and Media within UAL. It is open to anyone to join and participate, whatever your role or current use or experience of learning technology.

The Learning Studio is holding an informal, Bar Camp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp) style workshop on creating digital media for teaching and learning on Feb 10th from 16.30-18.30 in M401 at LCC. There will be hands on activities and demos of a range of ways to create, distribute and use digital media, and all are aimed at non-expert users. If you want to contribute to the workshop and talk about something that you are using in your own practice, please do so. You can just turn up and talk about something that you have worked on, or email us in advance and we can facilitate a space for you. There will be a range of activities, and the approach is very informal – there are no formal presentations, instead colleagues will be talking about how they are using a variety of media in their teaching and learning.  There is also no formal schedule, so you can turn up when you like – colleagues will be demonstrating their activities in different parts of the room. These will include

1: Lindsay Jordan will show how she has been using simple compact video recorders like the flip cam to record reflective interviews with the participants on the PG Cert in Teaching and Learning

2: Tony Pritchard will talk about his use of podcasting, he is currently leading on a college project to help staff develop podcasting as part of their L&T strategy

3: Patrick Sutherland will talk about simple sound recording for interviews, podcasts and atmosphere

4: Jackson Jessop will show his kit room website for the equipment stores in the film and television department at LCC see http://www.thekitroom.net/site/Home.html

5: Chris Follows will show the Process arts website see http://process.arts.ac.uk/

If you want to participate as a presenter please feel free to do so, if you want to just turn up on the day and talk about something relevant that is also fine.  If need any extra kit–like a laptop, sound, plasma screen etc – then let us know in advance. In any case, if you are intending to come, please  email Paul Lowe at p.lowe@lcc.arts.ac.uk so we can have an idea of numbers in advance.

In the spirit of Bar Camp, there will be cake and pop.

Looking forward to seeing you on the 10th!
