Over the last few months, Slider’s digital media team have been working with University of East London (UEL) and StickyWorld Ltd to develop a digital platform for its creative students and graduates to display their work, engage with employers and clients, and sell their work in an online e-commerce marketplace.
The soft launch for this project coincided with the end of year AVA Showcase exhibitions for fine art, photography, fashion and textiles, architecture, animation and design at the Docklands campus in June and the online exhibition is now open to the public. Visitors can explore the end of year show in a 360 panoramic tour, and link to individual student portfolios, all hosted on a new version of StickyWorld.
Take a look at the UELTalent site.
As a platform for display, dialogue and decision making, StickyWorld allows users to present work in secure or public rooms and to discuss the work in greater detail. Visitors can leave feedback and students have the opportunity to make connections with potential employees and clients. An e-commerce marketplace will shortly be launched on the site to give students the opportunity to sell their work.
Slider are now working to further enhance the technology and are looking for other education partners to work with. At a time of increasing fee levels, education establishments need a means to increase their visibility and connectivity of their creative students. If you’re interested in how StickyWorld can promote the profile of your students and help your university have a greater global reach, please get in touch.
