Designing Britain 1945 - 1975 > About the project   Project Background This project was managed in the Faculty of Arts and Architecture at the University of Brighton. It was funded as part of the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) distributed national electronic resource for learning, teaching and research (DNER). It ran from 1 March 2001 to 31 August 2002. The end product consists of 7 web-based E-Learning modules, each containing about 100 visual records. Visual source material derives from the University's expanding Design History Research Centre (DHRC) Archives as well as incorporating associated collections. The product is aimed at and delivered to the Higher Education (HE) community. The project objectives were as follows: - To enhance course curriculum and learning experiences in Arts, Design and Communication HE by utilising new media technologies. - To enhance access to visual resources, through the creation and delivery of seven hundred digital images from archival collections that are recognised as significant to the Arts, Design and Communication sector as well as to the study of design and visual culture in general. - To create project documentation and to host events that will contribute to knowledge sharing of E-Learning production and project management in the HE community.   Core Project Staff Project Director/DHRC Curator Dr Catherine Moriarty Project Manager Karen Peart Project Administrator Sheridan Wiseman Project Web Editor Anna Kisby Project Digitisation Technicians Sirpa Kutilainen Barbara Taylor Project Technical Adviser (Scanning) Sara Gadd   Project Authors Author Institution Module Title Elizabeth Darling University of Brighton Exhibiting Britain James Evans University of Brighton The New Jewellery Andrew Jackson Kent Institute of Art and Design From Solving Problems to Selling Product MacDonaldStrand Southampton Institute The Student Response Bank Gillian Whiteley University of Leeds Art for Social Spaces Matthew Partington University of the West of England Oral Testimony and the Interpretation of the Crafts Susan Hotchkies Arts Institute at Bournemouth Fabrics Forming Society The Designing Britain web site was designed and produced by Cognitive Applications.
