Other House Keeping Issues
Computer Booking
Given that there are now, more than ever the number of DA Students it is very important that you book time to use the machines. One can no longer rely on finding one’s work space empty so please book and use you time effectively.
Class time will often be used to discuss projects or concepts so one can not rely on dedicated class time to complete projects.
See Booking Forms above Each Machine. Please be considerate and not book more than a three hour slot at a time.
Equipment Booking
Cameras are available from Ziyaad. Please consult with him Re: Booking and collection times. There is limited equipment so please do not take things out for times in which you don’t intend to use them. We need to set the limit of the amount of time you may have the equipment at a stretch. At present this is two days but may be negotiated with me depending on your need and others wishing to use the cameras.
Documenting your Processes
Apart from the visual diary with which you should now be familiar, I wish to introduce you to two useful tools of which I hope you will make use.
The first is the class blog the second is Del.Icio.Us (an online bookmarking system). The idea behind these is to instil in you the convenience of working within the online environment as well as the process of tracking your own and your peers development.
All students need to have a Gmail account which we will use for blogger, Google documents and Google Calendar.
Please email me your Gmail so we can get started with our online environment.
