IVS Director David Ehrenpreis and Andreas Knab, Center for Instructional Technology, are presenting at the annual summer conference of the New Media Consortium in Cleveland, Ohio. Their paper, entitled, "The Institute for Visual Studies: Creating a Multidisciplinary Image Center at James Madison University," will demonstrate the development of the Madison Digital Image Database, the progress towards a digital collective, and the ways in which the IVS studio seminars offer an educational experience that is more intense, independent, and collaborative.
