These whimsical sculptures made from books have been appearing without much explanation in Edinburgh, Scotland this year. Kate tipped me off to a blog post about the phenomenon and I have to say I’m going to be much more prone to looking in obscure corners of the libraries I visit from here on out just in case such a treasure lurks there, too.
One of the Media Commons Tailgate 2011 events that I’m most excited for is the faculty panel on the Mobile Media Pilot that we have been offering since Spring of 2011.
Going into its third academic term this Fall, the Pilot has afforded MC consultants at University Park and the Commonwealth campuses many opportunities to work with faculty, staff and students on groundbreaking projects that take advantage of all that the iPod touch affords. Panelists will present on their classroom experiences with the devices from the consultation and planning stage to student usage and feedback to their plans for mobility going forward.
We’ll be announcing our panelists soon, but you can learn more about all of the pilot projects by visiting our Mobile Media Pilot page today!
