  • University of Wollongong Campus News 13 May 1992
    UniVERSITY OF WOLLOnQOriQ CAMPUS NEWS Number 9 Wednesday, 13 May 1992 High-tech lab for Modern Language When the University of Wollongong began to teach Japanese in 1991 it was the intention to establish a course that would be distinctive in a number of ways. The course offers a significantly higher number of hours of tuition than other courses in Japanese and includes intensive Summer Sessions and resi­ dence and study in Japan. It also includes Computer-Assisted Language Learning to supplement and reinforce the class work. The Department of Modern Lan­ guages received support from the Commemorative Association for the Japan World Exposition, which enabled Japanese language students try out the facilities with Mr Yoshihama, Japanese language the installation of a 20-place computer lecturer sponsored by Kawasaki City laboratory that puts the University on its way to becoming a leading univer­ sity in computer-assisted language learning. The Commemorative Association for the Japan World Exposition was es­ tablished in 1970 after the Osaka World Exposition to help organisations un­ dertake projects appropriate to the theme of the exposition - 'progress and harmony for mankind'. The Consul-General for Japan, Mr Noguchi, opened the laboratory on 1 May. During his speech he said he was glad that the fund was being utilised in such meaningful projects as the instal­ lation of these computer facilities, and that the Consulate had been able to play the role of a bridge between the Mr Masaya Usuda, Director of Japan Foundation Sydney Language Centre, Professor University and the Foundation. Brian Moloney, Head of the Department of Modern Languages and Mr Masaaki Noguchi, He added that there are about 66,000 the Consul-General for Japan Australians studying Japanese, and that there was an especially high demand in play a more important role in the Asia- mutual relations through cultural ex­ NSW.

  • Museums As Sources of Information and Learning
    Museums as Sources of Information and Learning: The 1 Decision Making Process Much has been written about the educational and learning role of museums (Falk and Dierking, 1992, 1995, 2000; Hein, 1998; Hooper-Greenhill, 1994) and their roles in community development and access (Gurian, 1995, 2001; Kelly and Gordon, 2002). Yet, in this increasingly rich and complex information age, less emphasis has been given to the roles that museums have as credible sources of information (Booth, 1998; Lake Snell Perry and Associates, 2001). Access to information and knowledge is probably at the greatest point now in our history than it has ever been. Therefore the resulting problems and stresses that this brings, coupled with how to actually use information are core issues that museums need to urgently address. Further to this there is a view that museums need to move from being suppliers of information to facilitators, providing tools for visitors to explore their own ideas and reach their own conclusions. This is because increasing access to technologies, such as the Internet, ‘… have put the power of communication, information gathering, and analysis in the hands of the individuals of the world’ (Freedman, 2000: 299). In this sense, the museum needs to become a mediator of information and knowledge for a range of users to access on their own terms, through their own choice and within their own place and time, a ‘… multifaceted, outward- looking role as hosts who invite visitors inside to wonder, encounter and learn’ (Schauble, et al., 1997: 3). How information is used, and by who, is another key issue for museums: ‘The role of museums in the future … lies in legitimising information and information processes and in being an advocate for knowledge as the province of the people, not the sole property of the great institutions’ (Freedman, 2000: 303).

  • Convicts & Cthulhu Player's Edition
    The Ballad of Jim Jones at Botany Bay Come gather round and listen lads, and hear me tell m’ tale, How across the sea from England I was condemned to sail. The jury found me guilty, and then says the judge, says he, Oh for life, Jim Jones, I’m sending you across the stormy sea. But take a tip before you ship to join the iron gang, Don’t get too gay in Botany Bay, or else you’ll surely hang. Or else you’ll surely hang, he says, and after that, Jim Jones, Way up high upon yon gallows tree, the crows will pick your bones. Our ship was high upon the seas when pirates came along, But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong; They opened fire and so they drove that pirate ship away But I’d rather joined that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay. With the storms a-raging round us, and the winds a-blowing gales I’d rather drowned in misery than gone to New South Wales. There’s no time for mischief there, remember that, they say Oh they’ll flog the poaching out of you down there in Botany Bay. Day and night in irons clad we like poor galley slaves Will toil and toil our lives away to fill dishonoured graves; But by and by I’ll slip m’ chains and to the bush I’ll go And I’ll join the brave bushrangers there, Jack Donahue and Co. And some dark night all is right and quiet in the town, I’ll get the bastards one and all, I’ll gun the floggers down.
