Hello folks! Sorry for cross-posting if you've already seen this.... I just wanted to pass on some information about a new Master's program - one of the many hats I wear is that of a Virtual Research Consultant for the Centre for Digital Media at Great Northern Way Campus in Vancouver, British Columbia. On Saturday, November 25th, 2006 the Masters of Digital Media (MDM) program at the Great Northern Way Campus will host an Open House for prospective students from around the globe in the online metaverse 'Second Life', where a Virtual Centre for Digital Media building is currently under construction. This event will be held in conjunction with a Real Life Open House taking place simultaneously at Vancouver's Great Northern Way Campus. At both events, potential students will learn about an innovative graduate program in digital media planned to launch in September 2007. More information can be found online here: http://www.gnwc.ca/mdm/ http://www.mastersofdigitalmedia.blogspot.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/gnwc To view the building of the virtual CDM: http://www.gnwc.ca/mdm/cdm-machinima2.mov Here is the flyer with more information about this event. http://www.gnwc.ca/mdm/slopenhouse.pdf If you have a chance, it would be great if you could forward this email and flyer to anyone who might be interested in the program, and perhaps you can post the flyer in your department. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have regarding the new program or the Open House.
