Seems Art Center’s Media Design Program has extended its deadline for applicants for a summer residency \u2014 learning and pervasive\/ubiquitous\/thing-y computing.<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.artcenter.edu\/mdp\/research\/summer2011\/<\/a><\/p>\n === We are particularly interested in projects that explore learning in a context of pervasive computing, including mobile technologies, social networking, online systems and digital media. We will consider projects for all learning situations but are most interested in post-secondary art and design education, as an extension of our New Ecology of Things initiative.<\/p>\n This unique context is best for research that incorporates design and prototyping as a mode of inquiry. Outcomes may include working prototypes, speculative visions, new pedagogical models and new learning contexts.<\/p>\n The project may consider the full spectrum of pervasive computing’s role, from additions to the traditional studio classroom, to supplemental learning outside of the classroom, to distance learning with a teacher, to completely self-directed learning.<\/p>\n Since the project is focused on pervasive computing, traditional browser-based online learning systems should not be central to the project.<\/p>\n * How do the tangible interactions enabled by pervasive computing change the potentials of eLearning for art and design students who are learning how to make physical artifacts?<\/p>\n * How might art\/design critique be affected by the use of pervasive computing?<\/p>\n * What role might tablets, smart phones, sensors, or actuators play in learning?<\/p>\n * What role might social networking play in new learning systems integrated with ubiquitous computing?<\/p>\n * How might contemporary educational practices such as project-based learning and collaborative learning change in a context of pervasive computing?<\/p>\n * What role might tangible interaction play in education for non-artifact-based design such as that for experiences, plans, and systems?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Seems Art Center’s Media Design Program has extended its deadline for applicants for a summer residency \u2014 learning and pervasive\/ubiquitous\/thing-y computing. http:\/\/www.artcenter.edu\/mdp\/research\/summer2011\/ === Learning and the New Ecology of Things We are particularly interested in projects that explore learning in a context of pervasive computing, including mobile technologies, social networking, online systems and digital media. … Continue reading Art Center Summer Residency: Learning and the New Ecology of Things<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13,14,47,116,173,174],"tags":[1175,1186,774,833,1072,1098],"yoast_head":"\n
