Price: $115/$120/$125

This class will survey visual software geared towards the creation of new forms or narrative. In the age of YouTube it has become possible to tell a story with a very small budget, but this does not mean that the final product necessarily lacks quality. In this class students will learn how to tell a story from beginning to end using visual-editor programs and other visual software. Students will obtain their audiovisual materials not only form camcorders but from a wide range of sources, such as still images from cameras, web cams, or scanned objects, thus learning different ways of creating moving images. The production of a film from scratch will demand an effort to come up with creative solutions in order to articulate the story, trying to make the best of available resources. Students will receive instruction on the fundamentals of film narrative so that they become able to communicate a story and take their first steps into video creation.

Creative Dialogue: Outcast and Society

Creative Dialogue: Outcast and Society

Two performances this season at the Center, Disfarmer and Hotel Cassiopeia, take us into the worlds of well-known outcasts, suggesting how their removal from society allowed them to produce art that captures, honors and creates magic from a world that we sometimes take for granted. A panel led by David Serlin considers the role of the “loner” and the power the outsider might have to see society more clearly.

FACULTY SEED GRANTS DUE

bdc1@umd.edu — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 4:00:00 +0000

Building the Qualitative Community:
Faculty Seed Grants for Developing Qualitative Work

Submission Deadline:

November 4, 2009

FULL CFP: http://www.crge.umd.edu/QRIG_CFP2009.pdf

The Consortium on Race, Gender, and Ethnicity and the Maryland Population Research Center are pleased to announce the fourth round of a seed grant program for faculty at University of Maryland engaged in research using qualitative research methods of participant-observation and in-depth interviews.

Assistant Professors have particularly high priority in the funding program but all faculty are eligible. The grant application must be for a study that primarily uses research methods of

participant-observation and/or in-depth interviewing (e.g., participant-observation of a specific group, two-hour interviews, or life histories). A study that is designed primarily as an analysis of historical documents, regrettably, is not included in the guidelines for this program. It is expected that a primary focus of the data collection is on understanding the meaning of events in the lives of study participants (i.e., an interpretative approach) rather than collecting data that measures the frequency of events (i.e., a survey approach).

Ina & Jack Kay Theatre
TICKETS $37 / $9 STUDENT

Disfarmer is a portrait of an artist, a piece of puppet theater that examines the contradictions in the life of hermit Mike Disfarmer, who was born in 1884 and died in 1959 alone in his photo studio. His solitary world comes to life through “table-top puppetry,” Magic lantern slides and 8mm home movies; old Edison wax disks and haunting Ozark mountain music create an atmosphere of old times faintly remembered. Disfarmer is represented by a series of puppets, each an exact replica of the last except two inches smaller — shrinking like much of rural America until he is completely gone.

This performance is supported, in part, by the Henson Endowment for Performing Arts.

Using Moodle to Create Online Courses

eyb@umd.edu — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:00:00 +0000

Moodle is an open source web-based learning management system and a low cost alternative for educators to create vibrant online content. The development of the Moodle platform was guided by a social constructionist framework of education which assumes that the knowledge a student receives is produced by the groups to which he or she belongs, or by their particular discourse agreements. Moodle tools have an emphasis on: group work, collaboration, communication, sharing, activities, and critical reflection.
