	DML Competition II-Closing October 21, 2008 The second year of the DML Competition, supported by the MacArthur Foundation, was a terrific success. Winners were selected by an international panel of judges at the MacArthur Foundation in Chicago in February, and were invited to a celebratory Winners Announcement and Showcase Event there in April. The MacArthur Foundation has been very laudatory about the project and has granted support for another year of DML Competition Awards and Winners' Showcase. To broaden the search for innovative ideas, this year's competition was expanded to include international submissions and proposals from young people aged 18-25. The 19 winning projects are those that best engaged the theme of "participatory learning," or the ways in which new technologies enable learners to contribute in diverse ways to individual and shared learning experiences. The competition awarded $2 million in the categories "Innovation in Participatory Learning Awards" ($30,000 - $250,000) and "Young Innovator Awards" ($5,000 - $30,000) to individuals, for-profit companies, universities, and community organizations for projects that employ games, mobile phone applications, virtual worlds, social networks, wikis, and video blogs to explore how digital technologies are changing the way that people learn and participate in daily life. Winners of DML I and DML II can be found on the DML website. Closing of DML Competition II, Davidson & Goldberg: Digital Media and Learning Competition Update

	UCHRI Director David Theo Goldberg on "Blue Velvet" June 4, 2008 This is an interview by Andrew Jakubowicz of the University of Technology Sydney with David Theo Goldberg, author of Blue Velvet, the Vectors project he collaborated on last year with Stefka Hristova and Erik Loyer. Interview The project "Blue Velvet: Re-dressing New Orleans in Katrina's Wake": Featured in Vectors, the project represents the journal's most sophisticated exploration of keeping New Orleans and its ongoing struggles in scholarly view and on exploring the possibilities for multimodal expression to capture the complex histories interlaced in what our government would have us believe was simply an act of nature. Combining sound, text, photography, video, and several maps, the piece sculpts an evocative and poignant landscape that nonetheless refuses all registers of nostalgia, insisting as it does that we locate Katrina and the Crescent City among multiple trajectories of policy, memory, and representation.
