Stories in Digital Media

Just to make an conclusion of the last days as an junior master, new to the graduate programme. And to the University of Bremen.

Groups formed already, but, as in most of the cases, known people stick together. And as I´m a stranger to all of them I try to get in contact to the internationals. Know how hard It could be to be abroad and to get involved within a new enviroment, had also been abroad for my mandatory exchange term in Riga, Latvia.

The lectures started at all universities now and the most of the new students arrived in the master programme as well as in the bachelor degree courses.

There´ll be the master retreat at Verden on November 6th and as I´m an junior in the master programme I´m really looking forward to it.

To give an brief overview: There are 5 projects which will start in the next term, mandatory lectures started already and it´s up to us to form our groups in the next weeks, months. Just have look at the projects page on the official programmes website to retrieve an overview.

So, I´m a parcitipant within the upcoming Serious Games : Entertainment Computing project at the university. Recently I stumbled upon this blog called acagamic.com of an Ph.D. Candidate in the research field of Serious Games. His academic presentations are also online on slideshare . Could be also of interest for the parcitipants of the mobile gaming project at the University of Applied Sciences Bremen ?

Might be the right to time to distribute the url of this blog and to have a look if there´ll be a bit more parcitipation in the future to improve the communication between the different projects and institutions? We´ll see.

So, the new term has already started.

In fact you didn´t recognized – I´m a senior in the undergraduate program, currently writing my thesis.

Besides that full-time effort I waste my time with such unimportant stuff as to moderate a group related to our digital media degree course in the evil StasiVZ StudiVZ. It´s quite not a big thing, but as usual – with every new term – some voices arise.

If you are sitting in the Marum, Room 2070, it is the 25th April of 2008 and the time is something between 9:30 and 15:30, you don’t need to know that the Master Project Presentations of 07/08 will take place.
If Marion does not forget it and she really will throw this on the wall with the Projector, SIDM greets all Master Students and wishes everyone good luck, fun, insight and a good time and congratulates all Finalists.
