Raymond, an Austin Peay State University associate professor of animation, was part of the \u201cEducating the Next Generation of Animation Professionals\u201d panel, and the \u201cBest Practices in Computer Classroom Layout\u201d panel.<\/p>\n

According to the SIGGRAPH website, the first panel on educating the next generation was made up of a \u201cteam of educators with extensive industry experience\u201d who discussed \u201cteaching industry standard approaches to animation production.\u201d The second panel, focusing on computer classroom layout, featured a \u201cdistinguished group of animation industry veterans-turned-educators\u201d who shared their insights on organizing \u201ctheir learning spaces to encourage the best creative output for their students.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great getting to share my experiences teaching at APSU with other professionals-turned-educators at SIGGRAPH,\u201d Raymond said. \u201cThe conversations have already inspired me with new ideas on how we can continue to evolve the experience our animation and visual effects students have throughout the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

SIGGRAPH offers a diverse menu of programs and services for its members and the computer graphic community. The group has evolved to become an international community of researchers, artists, developers, filmmakers, scientists and business professionals who share an interest in computer graphics and interactive techniques.<\/p>\n

The organization\u2019s Education Committee also sponsors the Faculty Submitted Student Work (FSSW) exhibition, an online archive of assignments and project briefs, as well as an exhibition of the student work created for assigned projects. Ten of Raymond\u2019s students had their work highlighted at this year\u2019s conference, making Austin Peay State University one of only 23 schools chosen to have student work featured in the exhibition<\/p>\n
