Technology in the Academy...
[This is from Liz Lawley]
Many-to-Many: fear and loathing in the academy
Last month, I moderated a workshop on ’Äúsocial software in the academy’Äù at USC’Äôs Annenberg Center for Communication. The attendees were primarily Annenberg faculty and graduate students, along with a few industry representatives and some academics from other institutions who had experience implementing social software tools (weblogs and wikis, primarily) in classroom contexts.
One of the topics that we didn’Äôt have an opportunity to explore in as much details as I would have liked was the issue of power, control, and authority in higher education, and the destabilizing effect that social computing tools can have in these domains.
