I think you've identified three core areas that I would agree with, but again, we're still left with the problem of defining a name for this field of study. <br /><br />Ultimately, like it or not, the names we use to describe what we do matter.<br /><br />But maybe the difficulty we are having naming this "digital thing" is related to Susan Garfinkel's tweet -- we aren't talking about a separate field or discipline, but about a set of skills and approaches that are discussed both within disciplines as well as "across the curriculum", much as writing and speaking skills are treated at most institutions.Jeffrey McClurkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118204828598680985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10303765.post-57558942261354253632012-02-04T10:10:01.159-05:002012-02-04T10:10:01.159-05:00I caught part of that conversation, and meandered ...I caught part of that conversation, and meandered on my blog this morning about three things I trhink are central to our new model of research and teaching - using digital to ask new questions, how digital enables new colloaborative methods, and how digital enhances research based teaching at UG level. I think if you start with these three general questions it is easier to get an interdisciplinry perspective. I have, however, no good name for it, yet. <br /><br />My ramble is here, if folks want to read it http://www.mikecosgrave.com/blog2006/?p=830Mike Cosgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178757998486958756noreply@blogger.com
