The Acadia Advantage is now nine
years old, and all across campus students are doing brilliant
work in the new medias the computer makes available to us.
To celebrate student achievement in the electronic environment,
the Humanities HyperMedia Centre @ Acadia University is pleased
to offer a prize for the best hypermedia project submitted for
course credit in the 2005 - 06 academic year.
The W3Consortium accepts Ted Nelson's definition of "hypermedia"
as the authoritative definition. Nelson has defined "hypermedia"
as "hypertext which is not constrained to be text: it can
include graphics, video and sound, for example". Simple, isn't
it?
To qualify, all you have to do is submit for credit in one of
your courses a project that satifies at least this minimal
definition of "HyperMedia," and have your professor send a brief
note to Dr. Richard Cunningham in which the course for which the
project was submitted is identified, and to which a copy of the
assignment description is attached.
All submissions will be acknowledged provided you supply an
Acadia email address to which we can correspond.
First prize is $150.00. Second prize is $50.00.
The contest is open to all students registered at Acadia
University for the 2005 - 06 academic year.
The final decision of whose is the best hypermedia project will
be made by a subset of those teaching HHC courses (IDST 1106,
IDST 1103, Hist 2563, Engl 2283, Engl 3663) in the 2005 -
06 academic year.
Remember: ink and paper aren't dead, but . . .
