For faculty members at participating colleges--and their academic support partners--who are interested in exploring new approaches to creative expression that enable and encourage the crossing of traditional disciplinary boundaries. Participants will consider how best to take advantage of new possibilities fostered by digital technology and how best to meet the challenges they present. (7 program units. Registration deadline: Friday, August 15, 2008)

These new capabilities in turn offer opportunities and impetus for new curricula that are in tune with students' status as "digital natives." They also raise significant questions regarding the judgment of quality in art, the assessment of “new media”-based demonstrations of learning, and the potentially conflicting domains of creative thinking and digital appropriation.
Conference participants will engage a variety of related topics, including
Conference participants will gain new familiarity with successful curricular uses of tools such as software applications employed to create art, music, and video. Participants will leave the conference prepared to lead fruitful discussions at home about the intersection of technology and creativity.
