One of the main objectives of the Digital Arts and Humanities Working Group is to hold programs to get the community talking about digital arts and humanities on campus. Here’s the list of ideas we are working on. If you have ideas, please email Louie <Ulman.1> or Lisa <carter.1088> with your suggestions.
In Planing Stages (see Events for when they move from Planning to Actual):
- Digital citizenship, outreach, and service / service-learning [Dickie Selfe: Summer]
- The Digital Sensorium: Beyond reading and writing alphanumeric texts, watching images, and listening to sound [Harmony Bench: April]
Easy to Arrange?
- eLearning at OSU: Wither Carmen, Digital First, iTunes U, and MOOCs?
- Bathygraphy: The surfaces and depths of electronic texts.
