Following up on the most excellent conference–Playing With Technology in History–in Niagara-on-the-Lake two weeks ago, the Digital Campus crew (Dan|Tom) reviewed the conference and some of the most important issues it raised for the participants. Be sure and check out the podcast so you can hear more from the conveners–Kevin Kee and Bill Turkel. Among the things discussed were the value of “play” as a goal in history and history education and the ways that unconferences are subverting the standard history conference model. If you are bored listening to three 20 minute papers and a 20 minute discussant, then you definitely will find friends on the podcast. Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

Playing With History on Digital Campus
Saturday, May 8th, 2010Digital Campus, the iPad, and the NEH
Friday, April 9th, 2010It’s spring, the birds are singing, and Tom, Dan, and I — and our special guest Lisa Spiro — have recorded another Digital Campus podcast. In addition to discussing the NEH start up grants in more detail, we managed to work in a comment or two about the iPad, which I’ve heard launched recently. And Dan gave us all an update on the Shape of Things to Come conference [Be sure to read this commentary on the meeting.]. For reasons I am less clear on, Twitter seemed to be an important part of the meeting (maybe someday I’ll understand the fascination with Twitter). Be sure to check out the podcast and let us know what you think. Also, if you are not already a subscriber to Lisa’s excellent blog Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, you need to start subscribing. It is one of the more thoughtful and important blogs in the field just now.
Balkanization of the Web?
Friday, December 4th, 2009What happens to libraries when more and more books are digitized and then moved off site? What happens when libraries convert shelf space to “learning commons” space? And what happens when a major media company decides to limit its content to searches run by one search engine (not Google)? The answers (or at least speculation about) all of these questions are available from the latest episode of Digital Campus:Twitter.
What We Did Last Summer
Friday, September 25th, 2009Digital Campus is back on the air after a summer break. Although we don’t reveal much about what we did during the summer, we do talk a lot about what the world of digital humanities has been up to over the past several months. Take a listen, see what you think, and give us some feedback. If you are one of those Twitter people out there, I suppose you can tweet us too, but I can’t tell you how to do that…
