Digital media resources
The popular media constantly reminds us that most secondary school and undergraduate university students are both producers and consumers of digital media, for study and relaxation.
The commentators suggest that these students are technologically literate and highly adept multi-taskers, more accustomed to SMS than email, and busily balancing study with part-time work, sport & leisure activities, and immersion in virtual worlds such as Second Life.
The new Eastern Resource Centre & Tate Learning Centre will acknowledge and respond to this interpretation of the daily realities of this digital generation.
It is our intention that these new facilities will provide a site for student engagement with the study and research possibilities that are now available through exposure to experimental technologies, rich media, and immersion in virtual worlds for real-world learning.
