Lakehead University Summer Institute for Advanced Studies http://www.lusias.orgThe Lakehead University Summer Institute for Advanced Studies offers graduate courses in the use of computing technologies for research in the humanities and social sciences. These courses would interest those scholars concerned with technology transfer in international development to address the method and theory of applying multimedia techniques to integrate text, still and video images and sound as a research tool. This Graduate Summer Institute aims to promote and create a research environment where students can work with professional staff and researchers from leading institutions across the world. Students first learn about Hypermedia technologies, and then have the option to apply them to their own research materials. There are two sessions to choose from and all courses are taught at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
The MacKenzie Ward Trust is collaborating with Lakehead University in organizing this innovative Graduate Summer School in 1998. The courses offered at LUSIAS aim to bridge the gap between technologies and the social sciences. The explosion of digital information has not yet been accompanied by a similar growth in software tools to manage and organize digital data. Hypermedia technologies offer the potential to resolve these information management problems. They will enable students to investigate issues from new angles and invite new ways of molding and presenting their research materials. The completion of courses allows students to gain graduate level credits or they can be used to further professional training.
There are two sessions in 1998:
Session I: May 11th to 30, 1998
Session II: July 6th to 25th, 1998
