Digital Identity and Portfolios

I was pointed to this by Brad Kzolek well before it hit my RSS reader … a piece by the always engaging Stephen Downes titled, “My Digital Identity” shares insights into some of the core issues with identity and reflection online. What I love about this piece is that Stephen really explores some of my own burning questions as they relate to how we attempt to represent ourselves online. This is an article that we’d like to know what you think about … there is much here that speaks to quite a bit of the work we are doing in ETS. Your thoughts (both as comments or emails directly to me) are both welcomed and encouraged.

Cultural Commonwealth

At Monday’s ITS all-staff meeting, our CIO Kevin Morooney talked about a document on the CNI (Coalition for Networked Information) on Cyberinfrastructure and its impact on the Humanities and Social Sciences. The name of the report is “Cultural Commonwealth; the final report of the ACL on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences,” and you can access it at http://www.acls.org/cyberinfrastructure/OurCulturalCommonwealth.pdf.

Podcast Article from Scranton

I got an email from our CIO this evening pointing me to a short article in the Scranton Times Tribune highlighting faculty use of podcasting for educational purposes. Nice to see that our faculty and staff at Worthington are getting some positive press for their efforts. The article is short, but does a nice job of explaining podcasting.

When we set out to do things University-wide, we want to make sure we are really thinking beyond University Park. This is a nice piece of evidence of that approach.
