By thomascrampton ⋅ June 29, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

For anyone interested in going digital, Hong Kong University is offering a series on workshops this summer. The HKU program has uber-blogger Rebecca MacKinnon on staff and offers some excellent digital classes.

Diane Stormont will be teaching the online skills training and Rob McBride will be teaching the course on digital storytelling.

Here’s the summer’s upcoming programs:

Digital Storytelling (Video Editing) - 3-5 & 10-12 July 2009
This is a hands-on 5-day course in digital video shooting and editing. Participants will learn to engage in the digital age of multi-skilled storytelling. Weekday or weekend modes of study available.

Online Skills Training for Working Journalists – 3-5 August & 10-12 August 2009
This is a practical course aimed at helping working journalists make the transition into the digital age. They will be introduced to the technologies and the skills that are revolutionizing the news media.

Modular classes and morning sessions will accommodate those who are working.

Media Presentation Skills – 19 August 2009

  • Thanks Thomas for this info. And thank you very much for an a mind expanding presentation this morning. As a mover of cultural boundaries, I am sure these courses about story telling in the digital dimension could come handy. As you'll see on http://www.youtube.com/user/cantobits, you'll probably agree that improving the media presentation skills course could be useful. Getting better at it though....I love telling stories..."L'arbre à palabre" just got a little bigger....
