Technology & Classroom Layout.
Since taking part in the PG Cert observed practice sessions with photography technician Reinis Lismanis and my tutor John O’Reilly, I’ve been thinking a lot about technology and classroom layouts. I’ve also been pulling up some interesting studies on classroom layout for some inspiration for some tech feng shui! Both Reinis and John commented that…

Case Study 2. Effectively Enhancing Student Computer Literacy and Engagement With Industry Standard Tools.
Key Observations. Whilst it is assumed that students starting the Fine Art Computational Arts course may have a core interest in exploring technology as a part of their evolving art practices, it has become evident from my 4 years working on the course, that many Computational Arts students struggle with computer literacy. In this case…
