National Music and Film Conferences on South Bank

A great Conference season, here at Brisbane's South Bank in July. The national conference of The Australian Screen Production Education and Research Association (ASPERA) was held at the Queensland College of Art from 27-28 June.

And the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre hosted the national NACTMUS (National Council of Tertiary Music Schools) Conference, 'Music in Australian Tertiary Institutions - Issues for the 21st Century' shortly after, from 29 June-1 July 2007). The papers and proceeding of the conference are available here at the NACTMUS site.

I enjoyed writing and presenting papers at the events, both the examining aspects of how our music technology students use technology as social networking and learning tools. The paper from the NACTMUS conference is available as a PDF, Students doing the driving: How undergraduates use ICT to enhance reflective practice, peer review and collaborative learning.
