Join the DAHL, everyone is welcome
The DAHL is an Arts Faculty community initiative, supporting digitally-enhanced student work and teaching, and developing our community's digital and designerly capabilities. It is coordinated by Arts Faculty Director of Student Digital Experience, Dr Robert O'Toole. During term time we run a programme of short informative and inspirational sessions on Wednesday afternoons (DAHL Shorts, Immersive Showcase), longer hands-on workshops with hardware and software (DAHL Studios), and supported online learning with LinkedIn Learning (launching Summer 2024). Faculty members can attend these and get the DAHL Certificate. We also run an annual DAHL Showcase competition, and special networking events to help connect researchers, students, technologists, international and industry partners.
DAHL Events
Most of these sessions combine a 30 minute inspiring talk/demo with 30 minutes of guidance and discussion. Usually in FAB1.63 Media Symposium Space, Wed. 2.15.
