CITRIS AND ONLINE EDUCATION
Letter from the Director, Paul K. Wright
|
Dear Friends of CITRIS,
 Exciting! I don't use that word often, but I have some exciting news. Congratulations to Dr. Camille Crittenden, who has been named to the new position of CITRIS Deputy Director. Camille joined us last year as Director of the Data and Democracy Initiative. Since then she has helped to develop projects and secure funding for a variety of interactive tools to promote civic engagement, and produced symposia in data visualization, online education, and the use of video for human rights advocacy. Her success in bringing together researchers, advocacy groups, public agencies, and industry leaders within these multi-disciplinary areas is just part of what makes her the perfect choice to help lead CITRIS in continuing to create collaborations that lead to breakthroughs for society.

Finally, web technology is now fast and reliable enough that multimedia instructional materials are accessible to anyone with a basic Internet connection. Students can confidently download new plug-ins and load videos.
