The Master of Publishing student cohort of 2010 enthusiastically invites you to the grand finale presentations of our Publishing Technology Projects for this year.
Each spring, the MPub cohort undertakes three applied R&D projects that explore innovation and novel solutions in digital technology for publishers. This year’s projects include:
- the consolidation and re-positioning of the Canadian Centre for Studies in Publishing, the Thinkubator, and the MPub online workspaces in a new WordPress-based platform.
- the launch of nEWS, a prototype online Editorial Workflow System tailored to the needs of small cultural magazines and packaged as free, easily deployable extension to a magazine’s website.
- the launch of the Book of MPub, a multi-platform publication (web, print, & ebook) demonstrating an agile, web-first, multi-platform publishing workflow. Written, conceived, designed, and developed entirely by the MPub community.
The projects will be presented in room 1800 at SFU Vancouver (515 W.Hastings St) beginning at 1:00PM on Friday, April 16th. We also invite you to join us afterward (about 4:30) on the third floor for our end-of-term celebration and wrap party.
Hope to see you there.
