The team at FusedWorks have been busy working on an Open Educational Resource project funded by Jisc. The project named SPACE (Simulated Performing Arts Creative Environment) will see the creation of an application to enable 3D teaching and provide an interactive learning resource for use by performing arts lecturers and students in both Higher and Further Education.
The resource is intended to complement the teaching of performing arts in the UK and users will be able to experiment with set and lighting design through the creation of their own 3D theatre space. Users will be able to import 3D props and characters with adjustable attributes and also apply cues to their creation.
The project is a collaboration between Doncaster College, Creative and Cultural Skills – the sector skills council for the creative and cultural sectors, the National Skills Academy for Creative and Cultural Skills (NSA), PALATINE – the HE Academy subject centre for Dance, Drama and Music and SHM a consultancy specialising in research, proposition development and organisational effectiveness.
The partners of the project are:
- Doncaster College – as leading institution
- Creative and Cultural Skills Sector Skills Council
- National Skills Academy for Creative and Cultural Skills
- PALATINE (the Subject Centre for Dance, Drama and Music)
- SHM Productions Ltd
