University of Calgary Learning Commons

The Learning Commons at the University of Calgary is proud to work with the Glenbow museum on the Mavericks project and to be part of Alberta's centennial celebration. The Mavericks online exhibition was programmed by the Learning Commons using the Pachyderm 2.0 software tool, a program that allows users to design educational and interactive multimedia presentations. The software links screens together, resizes images to appropriate dimensions, packages up audio and video files, and incorporates Flash technology to create vibrant and informative presentations. The Learning Commons is a member of the Pachyderm 2.0 Project consortium, a collaboration of software developers, university library specialists and museum experts who are developing and testing the program. D'Arcy Norman and Shawn Tse led the Mavericks initiative on behalf of the Learning Commons. King Chung Huang also contributed to the project. Flash programming provided by Arts ISIT at the University of British Columbia. Founded in 1997, the Learning Commons is a leader in the development and promotion of quality, innovative approaches to teaching and learning in higher education. The organization provides support for the academic community through professional development programs, curriculum and project support services, and multimedia and technology development.
