This
large-scale learning project was created by Don Bergland and
has been supported by Boldeye Solutions and Merit Learning Inc.
The project consists of learning manual, CD-ROMs, and website
resources. The DPC program provides complete skill in expressing
and communicating ideas through digital media. DPC seeks to
solve current issues regarding the lack of effective teacher
training in the area of digital technology. It is a program
that is both a teacher-training resource as well as a full classroom
curriculum for students. Teachers can work through it by themselves
or together with their students. DPC provides complete skill
and concept training in graphics, animation, video, audiom web
development, and authored presentations using industry-standard
software packages such as Photoshop, Flash, PowerPoint, and
Dreamweaver. It can be used flexibly across the curriculum.
The DPC program is currently still in prototype development
and has been actively presented in conference situations seeking
feedback and expressions of interest.
