Interview of Mitch Goodwin conducted by James Cook University for the award of a teaching citation in 2011. The citation was awarded by the university "for the implementation of programs and initiatives which engender community engagement and industry relevant assessment outcomes and learning experiences for New Media Arts students."
The core aim of the initiative was to infuse industry work flows and the notion of public "event culture" into a Work Integrated Learning program (WIL). These endeavors formed the core attributes of a refreshed curriculum of the 3rd year capstone subject, Creative Exchange (CXC). Goodwin has since been integral in providing the Faculty with a model of the program which was successfully rolled out across the Faculty of Law, Business and the Creative Arts in 2014.
A lot has happened since 2011, more up to date information on Mitch's teaching experience can be found here.
