As the kick-off open luncheon on Tuesday, November 13, for International Education Week ‘07, team members Kristin Congdon, PhD, and Eric Schon, lead web developer and senior in Digital Media, discussed the ChinaVine Chinese folk art documentary project, partnerships with US and Chinese universities, and shared experiences of students currently living and working in China for the project.
Students, staff and emeritus faculty attended the event and excitedly asked questions about what interdisciplinary opportunities were available and how team members worked together. There was also discussion about the integration of tools such as blogging. Both team members currently working in China, graduate student Mike Diaz and undergraduate student Sarah Long, have contributed and their blogs can be found on the ChinaVine website.
