Hello UMWBlogs Users! You might be surprised to see a new post pop-up on the frontpage. We admit it has been a long time since we posted anything here, but that hasn’t stopped you all from continuing to use UMWBlogs as a place to create and share your work. We in Digital Learning Support think it is time for UMWBlogs to receive a little attention and over the coming weeks and months. Here are some of the changes that will be coming your way…

UMW Art History professor JeanAnn Dabb is teaching a Freshman Seminar on Alfred Hitchcock. Few subjects in this world are more compelling than Hitchcock’s films, and it’s hard to think of a better excuse to run a course blog. So, that’s exactly what JeanAnn did, and you can find it here: http://hitchcock.umwblogs.org. That’s right, a little bit of old school UMW Blogs to temper all this Domain of One’s Own rah rah rah 🙂
The students in Sue Fernsebner’s Chinese History through Film course have been hard at work creating GIFs as part of their film analyses. There are a bunch of excellent GIFs that try and capture a particularly significant moment within the film they’re analyzing. For example, the GIF analysis for the film Not One Less (1999) effectively focuses on the film’s recurring use of chalk to frame the underfunding of rural elementary schools in China. I really like how the student uses the GIFs to capture the chalk moments, the only thing is they are far too big and need to be optimized so they’ll load in the browser.
