Gail Matthews-DeNatale blogs the digital humanities research (DHR) session at the 2008 NERCOMP Conference. Project leaders from Brown, the University of Vermont and Wheaton talk about DHR and student and faculty engagement, how to achieve sustainability and scale, and perhaps most important: how to get these fascinating projects done in the first place.

Registration is now open for NERCOMP's
upcoming workshop "Educational Mash-Ups 2."
Mashups, created by linking Web 2.0 applications together,
harness the collective intelligence of the internet to create dynamic displays
of engaging information that can be created for a wide variety of disciplines
and easily integrated into curriculums. This SIG will provide a snap shot how
Mashups have evolved in the past year, demonstrate tools that are emerging that
simplify the creation of Mashups such as Yahoo Pipes, Microsoft Popfly and
Dapper, show examples of educational Mashups and demonstrate how they were
built. The meeting will close with a roundtable session for sharing Mashup
ideas.

Shel offers this take on a workshop looking at a very broad topic which offered a slight twist as far as NERCOMP workshops go: all of the presenters came from an academic background rather than a technological one. Says Shel, “My interest in the interaction of technology and pedagogy was well met by presentations combining strategic thinking about what constitutes and shapes a liberal arts education and examples of technology being used in the classroom in a traditionally ‘liberal’ manner.”

Valerie Gillispie reports in about an event that brought together faculty, information technology specialists, librarians, and others who work with images to discuss the impact of digital images on the liberal arts curriculum. The conference was inspired by David Green’s recent survey and interviews with 35 institutions about their use of digital images. She writes, “It seems clear that digital images are becoming a standard component of curricula, and the ability to interpret and critically analyze these images is becoming a required skill for students and faculty."
