FVM at DHSI 2012

The Fort Vancouver Mobile project was featured prominently in discussions last week at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute in Victoria, British Columbia, where Creative Media and Digital Culture faculty (Dene Grigar, John Barber, Will Luers, Brett Oppegaard and Nicholas Schiller) taught a week-long course called “Creating Digital Humanities Projects for the Mobile Environment.” The international group of scholars taking this course -- from such universities as Yale, Emory, Howard, Michigan, and Toronto -- learned about conceptualizing space, coding and programming, and developing mobile architecture, design and content. The proof-of-concept apps produced included programs for special library collections, literary walks, and teaching foreign languages.
