This guest post comes from David Portelli, Education Officer at the State Library of Victoria. David will be running free online sessions, exploring the range of tools available to make digital comics.

Linking in with the exhibition Love and Devotion: From Persia and Beyond, we will be offering free online Professional Development sessions through the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s Virtual Conference Centre.

The sessions will look at the stories from the exhibtion and the associated education resource, with a focus on creating digital comics. A discussion of digital storytelling and comics will be linked to the education resource, other State Library of Victoria resources and application beyond the exhibition and its content.

As the session will be delivered online, all you will require is a computer with internet connection and a headset (with a microphone if possible).

The sessions will be held between 4:00pm – 5:00pm on two alternative dates – Wednesday May 9, 2012 or Tuesday May 22, 2012

If you would like to attend or find out more information, please contact openaccess@slv.vic.gov.au or call 8664 7557.
