Creative Cuppa Seminar Series (CCSS)
Creative Cuppa is a long-term student-staff research seminar series physically in association with the Department of Media and Communication (DMC), at the University of Leicester (UoL). The project aims to bring together researchers and other interested people from different disciplines or knowledge backgrounds, both inside and outside the University, to generate, discuss, and criticize issues related to their experience or understanding of making use of new media technologies. Through the activities, participants are expected to better understand the modern world from a socio-technical perspective; and this is we believe very important and closely relevant to their research and personal development in the future.

Creative Cuppa Online Community
Creative Cuppa has created its online community on Facebook. This is designed to keep the participants connected and updated at all times. In that sense, Creative Cuppa is more like an ongoing process that cross over the boundaries of time and space. So please join us. Everyone is welcome, no matter what background or discipline you are from. You can join in and drop out anytime you want. The most important thing is that you have fun, feel relaxed, and are ready to refresh your minds with loads of new creative ideas. (For more details, please find here)

Recent updates: Learning Futures Festival Online 2010
<7–14 January 2010> Beyond Distance welcomes you to participate in our Fifth International Conference under the title of Learning Futures. This year’s event will be exclusively online so you can take part from wherever you want and at whatever time suits you! We may recognise ‘too late’ the impact of innovation … because it may shake up sustaining (even good) practice … or be too risky … too challenging … too difficult … unproven. Therefore, to greet the second decade of the 21st century, we invite you to explore positive disruption for learning from a variety of worldwide perspectives and themes.
