Digital Learning Commons

Hey all you talented MIIS students,

Inspired by this year’s Follies, a group of students and the Digital Learning Commons are determined to produce a conscious music album by May 19th!  We’re having our first meeting at noon this Friday, April 20th, on the second floor of Kade.

If you play an instrument, sing, rap, beat box, write poetry, lyrics, or spoken word, or have any experience editing or producing music please contact Christine R. Robinson at crrobinson@miis.edu for more information.  Other talents are welcomed as well.  We’d love to hear from you!

The Digital Learning Commons

This Friday is the amazing Sea Change TedxMonterey event located on campus at the Irvine Auditorium.  Here at the Commons we will be streaming the event.  You can also view the livestream at: www.tedxmonterey.org.

Come Join in the fun!

Do you have a passion for learning, creativity, and technology?  Do you have or are you looking to develop your communication and facilitation skills? How about an interest in how technology is re-shaping the way we live, work, and play? If you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions, then you just might be interested in working with (not for) the Digital Learning Commons during your academic tenure at the Monterey Institute.

The DLC has one opening for a Digital Media Consultant position for current (preferably first year) graduate students to complement our current team. We are seeking graduate assistants who may have particular skills or experience with data visualization, programming, and network analysis tools.

We’re also looking for team members to complement our current projects, or conjure up new ones entirely. Some of our recent projects include:

• Digital Innovation Clinics
• MIIS Localization Project
• MIIS Radio
• TEDxMonterey
• Campus Map Project

Send us an e-mail indicating your interest in working with the DLC and how you would contribute to the team based on your background, skills, and familiarity with our core activities and projects. Be sure to include link(s) to a digital space or project(s) that you led or produced (website, e-portfolio, blog post, video, podcast) that showcases your skill-set and experience.

Applications should be sent to miisdlc@gmail.com, addressed to Bob Cole and Rebecca Walters ASAP, we will conduct interviews starting immediately until the position is filled.
