If you weren't there, these may not mean much! We are currently developing a number of proposals that may (if approved) turn into graduate programs. This is a presentation about two of them (the teams for which I'm chairing): the (both provisionally named) PhD in Digital Transformation and the MSc in Learning Environment Design & Development (or maybe Advanced Learning Technologies). Both are all about crossing not just disciplinary but sector boundaries, both are about student autonomy (students controlling outcomes, methods, assessments, etc), about the valorization of diversity, to do with both creating digital technologies and understanding their social, psychological, societal, ethical, political and other impacts, to do with acknowledging the context of use as equally or more important than the technological tools we build. I think both are really cool. We'll be really lucky if even one is accepted for further development, but it will be fun trying.
The Landing files tool can be used to share files with others, comment on them and build dialogue around them.
Some files are treated specially: on the whole, pictures will be displayed as pictures (jpg, gif and png formats), audio will be played as audio (mp3 and a few other formats) and video will be shown as video (various formats). It is thus a way to build picture galleries, podcasts and vodcasts.
You can upload multiple files and even upload zip files, that will be extracted on this site into their individual components.

Jon,
This looks great.
My only question is how do I become a member of the faculty?
