Cyberinfrastructure and the Liberal Arts

A Special Issue, edited by David L. Green

We dedicate this issue to the memory of Roy Rosenzweig (1950-2007), an extraordinary historian who inspired a generation of fellow historians and others working at the intersection of the humanities and new technologies. 


INTRODUCTION
A Cyberinfrastructure for Us All
By David L. Green, Knowledge Culture
Made possible by dramatic advances in networking technologies, cyberinfrastructure promises to combine new computing capabilities, massive data resources and distributed human expertise to enable qualitatively different creative product from new generations of "knowledge environments." Introducing this timely collection of observations on how this will affect liberal arts disciplines and institutions, David Green reviews the distance we've come in the last 15 years and identifies the main themes of the essays, interviews and reviews that follow.

April 2011

This collaborative issue with NITLE features two case studies exploring how digital technologies are reshaping humanities inquiry and pedagogical practice, through projects that expand and deepen classroom-based learning.

Beth Wilkerson and Carol Smith share their recipe for promoting the use of GIS and spatial technologies at DePauw University. Starting with a concept and grant support, DePauw has successfully developed a GIS program that supports academic and administrative programs. This project is the first recipient of the Sustainable Program Award, given by the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE) in recognition of projects that successfully transition into sustainable programs. Congratulations!

September 2010

As geospatial technologies become easier to use, more accessible, and increasingly interactive, maps and other data visualizations are becoming ever more popular forms of communication. Likewise, our ability to collect geolocated data is also expanding. In this issue of Academic Commons, NITLE presents case studies of three projects that have begun to chart this new knowledge terrain. Each project connects the creation and communication of knowledge via maps to student engagement and learning; together, they show how data visualization can be used to foster students' creativity, teach them to define and solve problems within real-world constraints, and make the leap from simply observing bits of data to making sense of them.
