Welcome

To people unfamiliar with new media, this site's home page may seem to offer a bewildering array of topics and technologies. That's not surprising, because the field of new media spans a variety of practices, from software art to student cinema to game design. The New Media program at the University of Maine embraces this diversity, offering course sequences in documentary, interactive, narrative, time-based, and networked media.

Underlying this program's broad range of subjects, however, are a set of essential threads--cultural, technical, and creative--that run through every course. Whether you're studying DHTML or Derrida, your teachers may ask you to look at new media from the perspective of a philosopher, a developer, and an artist. In today's rapidly changing cultural and economic landscape, this range of perspectives gives graduates of U-Me's New Media program an edge over their peers who graduate with a single skill or preoccupation.

help with playing quicktime movies

Here's how to configure QuickTime to play these files:

For materials that utilize internet streaming we recommend having a Broadband connection to the internet (Cable Modem, DSL, T1). All University of Maine Campuses and Centers have Broadband connections in their student accessible computer clusters.

All movie files require the most recent version of QuickTime Player to play. Please make sure that you have it installed properly. If you are not sure you have the most recent version of QuickTime Player (QuickTime Player 6.5), you can go to http://www.apple.come/quicktime/download and download and install the player again.

If QuickTime player is installed and you are still unable to view the lecture:

Please go to your quicktime control panel settings (usually located from the "start menu" under "settings".) Choose "Streaming Transport Setup" from the menu. Please select "http" under transport protocol and "port 80" as the RTSP port ID, and apply the settings. This should solve your issue.
