Faculty Workshop in August

Margaretha — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 19:20:18 +0000

The Open Collaboration Lab had a successful two day workshop in August outlining goals for the year. Faculty explored possible collaborations between classes, tools that are useful for and that facilitate collaborations, open source practices, and we had wide ranging conversations about what makes for successful collaborative work.

Conversations emerged around possibilities for faculty collaborations, collaborations between advanced electronics and sculpture, and ideas for a series of recommendations to CCA for how to support and evaluate collaborations in and between classes.

In attendance were Faith Adiele, Writing; Kyle Chan, Fashion; Mia Feuer, Sculpture; Margaretha Haughwout, Critical Studies; Barney Haynes, Fine Arts; Dena Molnar, Hybrid Lab; Graham Plumb, Interaction Design; Michael Shiloh, Critical Studies; J.D. Zamfirescu-Pereira, Critical Studies.
