Accessing and Interacting with Multidimensional Media

The AHRC-funded Digital Skills In Visual And Material Culture network service will host a two-day workshop as part of its training activities on 6 and 7 November 2023, 09:30 am – 4:30 pm at the University of Brighton.

The workshop aims to upskill researchers and practitioners in identifying the best way to design, deliver and evaluate interpretative applications that draw on multidimensional media for dissemination and user engagement. The workshop focuses on stories in the fields of visual and material culture within Higher Education, Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums (GLAMs), as well as the creative industries.

If you encounter any issues with the registration, please get in touch with info@culturedigitalskills.org

Cost and Registration

The workshop is free, but we request that attendees register through Eventbrite. Attendees will need to bring their own laptops for the training, and please let us know if this is an issue at the time of registration.

We are able to offer this event without a registration fee thanks to our funding. If for whatever reason, you register and become aware that you will no longer be able to join us, please consider cancelling your registration, as this will help us avoid incurred costs.
