Slavica was the visiting artist faculty member at Alberta College of Art and Design in the Media Arts Digital Technologies department for the academic year of 2003/2004. She went on to oversee the Co-production department at the Banff New Media Institute (BMNI) in Banff Alberta from 2004 to 2006 and managed the CFC's Interactive Art and Entertainment program from 2006-2007.
