"Creative Technologies for Remote Learning"

with Youngmoo Kim, PhD, Director, Expressive and Creative Interactive Technologies (ExCITe) Center

 

Abstract:

In this talk, I’ll demonstrate how I've incorporated and developed new media technologies to improve remote learning for 3 undergraduate engineering classes.  I’ll detail the evolution of a video production workflow to create high quality material for asynchronous learning as well as different tools and platforms for real-time collaboration. Some of these same principles have also been used in large-scale creative works,  such as this video .
