Open House Slide Show

One of my new favourite site is Slideshare. Great educational slides posted, among other things.

I've put together a short slideshow from the Open House at the VCDM on Nov 25th. We also have some pictures posted over at Flickr and some comments over at the MDM blog.

Virtual Centre for Digital Media - Press Releases

The Open House for the VCDM, which in RL houses the MDM at Great Northern Way Campus in BC went well. A great turn out! Thanks to everyone who joined us.

Here are some tidbits from the Media:

Second Life lands B.C. campus
Randy Shore, Vancouver Sun
Four of the Lower Mainland's major post-secondary educational institutions will simultaneously open a virtual campus in the online cyberworld Second Life and a new real-world $40-million digital media school on Great Northern Way.
Trigger Happy - Graduate school for gamers
By Blaine Kyllo
Gerri Sinclair, executive director of the MDM program, talks on the phone from her temporary office at GNWC, which is possibly as elementary school–like as that of her colleague. Sinclair will soon be departing for the 2006 Serious Games Summit in Washington, D.C., followed by a visit to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where students can get a master’s degree in entertainment technology. She’s checking out the competition, but she doesn’t sound concerned about how the MDM program will stack up. “We have a very unique competitive advantage,” she insists.
