HCMC Welcome
Humanities Computing and Media Centre
The mandate of the HCMC is to further research, teaching and learning in the faculty of Humanities, in particular the fields of Humanities Computing and Language Learning, and those aspects of other fields involving audio, video or computing technology. We host a research and development office which develops web applications, websites, on-line databases and application programs, and collaborate with a drop-in Computer Assisted Language Learning lab.
On this site you'll find information on how we can help you whether your interest is research (e.g. literary or linguistic analysis, electronic editions, research websites), teaching (using multimedia labs, creating online exercises, instructional databases), editing (e.g. managing a conference, editing a journal, maintaining a department website), or the operations of the HCMC. We also have a section specifically aimed at students. Please use the navigation bar on the left or the search box to the right to move into the site.
New procedure (as of April 2010) for proposed projects involving HCMC
We've implemented a new procedure for reviewing project proposals requiring labour or resources from HCMC. The changes will have greater effects on larger project proposals. If you're thinking about submitting a project proposal for our consideration, see the page on our process for Planning a Project, or go directly to the on-line project proposal form or the text-based project form.
HCMC has moved for the summer of 2010
As part of the seismic upgrading project in the Clearihue building, the HCMC office has moved from the Clearihue building to room 220 of the Technology Enterprise Facility (TEF) building, at the corner of McKenzie Avenue and Gabriola road. Click for maps to the TEF building. The office phone number remains 250 721 8294 and our email addresses are unchanged.
