Time & Date: 11:00 A.M. – 11:45 A.M., Thursday, June 18, 2009
Location: Rm. 182, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC)
Session Description: Several years ago, university students who worked for the Canadian Border Service posted photographs of themselves drinking in uniform on Facebook, complete with inappropriate comments. While they were probably not surprised to be relieved of their jobs, they are probably amazed that the story and photographs are still available on the web.
Over 25,000 UBC students over the age of 18 have a Facebook account. The Digital Tattoo Project’s goal is to help these and other students become aware of their rights and responsibilities as creators and consumers of digital information in their personal, academic and professional lives. A collaborative project of various departments across campus, it provides an interactive online tutorial for students, as well as workshops and presentations that promote the tutorial and provide additional learning opportunities for students, faculty and staff.
Come to this interactive, panel discussion to see a demo of the tutorial, learn how project partners worked together with students to develop an engaging online learning tool, hear what students, faculty and others have been saying about the project, and plans for its ongoing development.
