SCHOLARSHIP

“Digital scholarship is more than just using information and communication technologies to research, teach and collaborate; it also includes embracing the open values, ideology and potential of technologies born of peer-to-peer networking and wiki ways of working in order to benefit both the academy and society.” Weller, M. (2011)

“Are the lines between credentialed scholars and gifted amateurs genuine boundaries, or are they artificial barriers designed to keep outsiders out of the ivory tower?” (Katz, 2010)

SCHOLARLY INSTITUTIONS

“Our argument is that our institutions of learning have changed far more slowly than the modes of inventive, collaborative, participatory offered by the internet and an array of contemporary mobile technologies.” (Davidson & Goldberg, 2009)

Digital is not the future!

(That already happened.)

Institutions , for the most part, are acting as if the world has not suddenly, irrevocably, cataclysmically, epistemically changed—and changed precisely in the area of learning.(Imaginervcc, 2014)

How do collaborative, interdisciplinary, multi-institutionallearning spaces help to transform traditional learning institutions?
