April 11, 2009: shadow student
I think a website needs to resonate psychologically to be a place you want to visit and return to. You need a reason to want to go there.
The question at the heart of this nonsite project is: what is Camberwell, for an online student like myself?. The risk of being an online student is that you are invisible. From away it is very hard to get a handle on other student values.
How is my experience of Camberwell different from when I was a student at NSCAD and what made it such a great place? I think there are two things that make a school, college or university great- first is a sense of belonging to a community and the second is believing in common values.
