hopefully offering a series of interesting talks, it will be an
excellent opportunity to discuss major trends in the current development
of inter-organizational cooperation frameworks in the humanities.
Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to reply either online
on HUMANIST or directly to my office email, kuester AT fh-worms DOT de
Best regards,
Marc Kuester

IEEE DEST 2008
IEEE Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies
26th-29th February 2008
Phitsanulok Thailand
Deadline for full paper submissions: October 14th, 2007
http://www.ieee-dest.curtin.edu.au/2008/tracks.php#trackE-humanities
eHumanities -- Track Chairs: Marc Wilhelm Kuester and Matthew Allen
Digital Ecosystem is defined as an open, loosely coupled, domain
clustered, demand-driven, self-organising collaborative environment,
where each species is proactive and responsive for its own benefit or
profit.
Digital eco-systems occur through the interactions between both human
and computer-based agents, operating in a manner that creates both
relationships of cooperation and conflict within the system as well as
the overall system itself. Analysis of the role of human perception,
engagement and expectation is critical, therefore, to understanding the
complexity of digital ecosystems as well as the operational dynamics of
any specific system. Furthermore, our capacity to build, maintain and
further develop viable digital ecosystems rests on clear, theoretical
and applied, understanding of the way in which humans and computers
interact with one another in digital, networked environments.
Put simply, the e-Humanities researchers will pursue a research agenda
that will explore the social, cultural, political and economic
determinants that constitute the foundational terrain within which
ecosystems exist. In doing so, they will also analyse the manner in
which, through human action within a digital ecosystem, human beliefs,
understandings and desires come to influence that system. Through
consideration of the results of human endeavours within digital
eco-systems, these researchers will also come to understand the ways in
which networked digital communications can enhance or, indeed, imperil
social and cultural development.
There are several research directions of the work in e-Humanities. The
first concerns the manner in which 'intelligent' interactive expertise
networks might be developed to solve the problems of knowledge-based
distributed collaboration between experts and those who draw on their
expertise. A 'networks of interactive knowledge=E2'(NIKs) approach can be
usefully applied to education (both formal and informal), sustaining
professional competence, e-research, e-participation, e-government and
other forms of scholarly collaboration, as well as other situations in
which people need to collaborate through exchanges of partial knowledge
so that they might construct a collective expertise greater than the sum
of its individual parts. This is related to a second component, working
in standards-based, interoperable distributed service and resource
environments, e. g. service and resource networks or grids that allow
seamless integration on both tool and the resource side. The third
component of research concerns the broader relationship of technology
and society, with particular reference to the cultures and politics of
society's adoption of, and adaption to, new forms of technologically
mediated communication and information sharing and of technology's
requirements to adapt to existing cultural semiotic processes.
This research is largely being pursued through individual research
projects involving the development of theoretical knowledge to guide
further practical development, or deeper understandings of previous
technological developments, though in the future these projects can link
together to form a larger digital eco-system of systems. To foster such
cooperation is a major longterm goal of the track.

Subject: Copyright and Academic Culture: New Issues and Developments
Colleagues,
Please join the CIP for the first of our four (4) engaging online
workshops!
Copyright and Academic Culture:
New Issues and Developments
http://www.umuc.edu/cip/ipa/index.shtml
Moderated by: Siva Vaidhyanathan, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Media
Studies and Law, University of Virginia
Where? Online
When? October 1-12, 2007 (early registration ends September 21)
Would you like to step behind the legal battles and economic interests
in order to think more about the cultural values that influence how we
think and talk about copyright? In a clear, straightforward, engaging
style, cultural historian and media scholar Siva Vaidhyanathan will
offer insight to help untangle some of the intricate web of culture,
law, and technology. This workshop is an opportunity for both the
theorist and the practitioner of copyright law and policy to explore
some of the complex issues behind the management of copyrights on
campus.
Goals for the course:
* Review the purpose, role, and scope of copyright and its
relation to academic culture;
* Consider some of the problems, challenges, changes, and
opportunities facing academia;
* Examine the relationship of the academy to copyright via the
Google Library and consider important questions for both libraries and
Google;
* Explore the current controversy surrounding e-reserves as an
example of copyright and academic culture in conflict;
* Examine the evolving relationship between the publishing
industry and libraries.
* Register- http://tinyurl.com/29jg53

From: "Jane Ellis" <CS-Admin_at_kcl.ac.uk>
Subject: Seminar: What Good is e-Learning?
This message is sent on behalf of Margaret Cox, Chair of the EIGER Group
Seminar: What Good is e-Learning?
When: Friday 5 October, 2007, 6.30-9.00pm
Where: London Knowledge Lab, 23-29 Emerald Street, London WC1N 3QS
Will the new media technologies increasingly to be deployed in
schools really change how children learn? In promising a more
personalised approach to learning, they offer a vision of each child
reaching their full potential, through being actively involved in
choosing their own learning paths and styles. While the national
curriculum may remain in place as an overall set of objectives,
schools will cease to offer a 'one size fits all' system of
education. Teachers will do less teaching in the traditional sense,
but will become guides helping children along their chosen learning
paths, facilitated and mediated through 'virtual learning
environments' . Not everyone accepts the idea that children are best
taught in this way and some fear that this new direction may fragment
education and undermine its capacity to give children a broad view of
the world and a clear sense of their future within it. What is the
best way of thinking about the innovatory potential of new
technologies in education? How can we make the most of what they can
offer while keeping the best of what a teacher-led, subject-based
curriculum has provided in the past?
Confirmed speakers:
Professor David Buckingham, London Knowledge Lab;
Chris Poole, Microsoft, BSF;
Toby Marshall, FE teacher and writer on learning technologies;
Keri Facer, Futurelab
Chair: Wendy Earle
Organised by the Institute of Ideas as part of The Battle of Ideas
