Indigenous Cultures: From Observing to Experiencing, from Videography to 3D VR Immersion

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Indigenous Cultures: From Observing to Experiencing, from Videography to 3D VR Immersion (ID: EDU07202)
Author(s):Ulrich Rauch (The University of British Columbia) and Linc Kesler (The University of British Columbia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

A challenge arises in making digital information and communication technologies accessible to indigenous communities. From digital preservation of cultural and historic artifacts to embedding culturally sensitive materials in academic courses, technology can become a double-edged sword: it can be deployed to obfuscate a critical analysis of how "communication" is understood as meaningful by First Nations themselves.
