Designed to help individuals move toward achieving work-life balance, this workshop responds to the overwhelming evidence that most people are stretched too thin, have too much on their plates, and are expected to produce more results with less resources, while juggling the pressures of family and a personal life. The facilitator creates a learning environment for participants to:

• Assess their current work-life balance.
• Identify and understand what is getting in their way of achieving better balance.
• Discuss the roles of health and stress management, emotional intelligence and time management.
• Determine a personal vision for work and life balance.
• Create a plan with strategies to move toward achieving this vision.

Capital explores the darker elements of human nature via the ever popular flat screen TV that commands seemingly benign living spaces. It draws attention to the exploitation necessary for Western culture to acquire and maintain its affluence; the very privilege evident in the spaces photographed.

Since the invention of mechanical imaging, all photographic, cinematic and digital technologies have strived for greater resolution, delivered with greater speed. We want the world reproduced with pristine clarity, in front of our eyes immediately. What is behind our desire for such a large gorgeous image, our obsession with richer colours and the mega density of pixels?

Capital’s juxtaposition of images – struggle amidst comfort – illuminates the massive imbalance of power that is at the core of so much global suffering. Is there a dilemma in watching difficult pictures from a relatively easy vantage point?

* Some explicit imagery. Suitable for mature audiences only.

In many of today’s higher education institutions, technology has a ubiquitous presence and this is driven by the aggressive growth of mobile technologies. From a student perspective, students try to use technologies to restructure and improve their learning experiences. From a faculty perspective, faculty members try to create innovative, pedagogically sound teaching experiences using different technologies. In the case of the tablet, these ultra-light, multifunctional computers allow faculty to incorporate unique software (apps) into their classrooms and distinctive teaching methods using the features of tablets. Using the iPad tablet, this workshop will explore the basic functionality of tablets while exploring some of the more intriguing applications/apps that faculty can integrate into their teaching methods.

Note: Participants are asked to bring their iPad tablet.
