Beyond books… thinking about the “living tradition” and the “virtual research environment” of scholarly discourse

By Brian Mathews. I met with a group of students earlier this month and the topic of eBooks came up. They unanimously expressed a preference for print. I was curious. What I found was that none of them had read a book on an eBook Reader. More...

Missing from campus bookstores: books

eCampus NewsBy Scott Travis - . Lynn University has removed some merchandise from its campus bookstore — books.  Almost every book needed for the 300 classes offered at the liberal arts university in Boca Raton are available by digital download. So officials decided a traditional book store was no longer needed. More...

'What Stays in Vegas' and 'Dataclysm'

By Joshua Kim. What Stays in Vegas: The World of Personal Data—Lifeblood of Big Business—and the End of Privacy as We Know It... by Adam Tanner
Published in September of 2014
Dataclysm: Who We Are (When We Think No One's Looking) by Christian Rudder 
Published in September of 2014.
What do we mean when we talk about big data in higher ed?  What is the deal with putting the qualifier “big” before “data”? Was data ever small? Does talking about BIG DATA make us sound somehow more digitally clued-in?  Academics who think in platforms and ecosystems rather than only in credits and classes?  Like we would be as comfortable at a TED Talk as a Convocation, at SXSW as the ASA?
My approach to achieve Big Data academic cool standing is to try to understand big data in adjacent industries. Read more...

Secret Service Books Read and Unread

By Joshua Kim. I’m interested in the Secret Service. The logistics of protection (both people and the currency) are endlessly fascinating.  Perhaps it is because the Secret Service is at the top of the law enforcement status hierarchy.
So I’m a natural candidate to read books about the Secret Service.  There are many of these books, and I’ll list them below, but I’m not buying them.  Why not?  The reviews.  The reviews are not that great. Read more...

Ideal Readings

By Oronte. There’s an anecdote about James Joyce that says he pointed at an unknown tradesman seated on some steps in Dublin and said he wrote Ulysses for that guy. 
Updike, famously: “When I write, I aim in my mind not toward New York but toward a vague spot a little to the east of Kansas. I think of the books on library shelves, without their jackets, years old, and a countryish teenaged boy finding them, and having them speak to him.” Read more...

Gutenberg’s lessons for today’s universities

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWMTBx0CPzMFK637Zb6AgNbjhxfVRtTVkrwKoq4ZPL2p18KKWOEwB3AWIBy Gavin Moodie. While digitization changes the role of libraries and perhaps of scholars’ relations with text, is has so far not changed the way people learn. Most of the hype about Massive Online Open Courses comprised untestable predictions about how they would “disrupt universities” business model, leave only 10 institutions in the world “delivering” higher education and were an unstoppable tsunami engulfing higher education. Most of these predictions drew lessons from the broadcast and mass media or from the music industry, but as Martin Weller argued, the analogies with higher education are flawed. More...

Infini de la lecture : de Cassiodore au text and data mining

Blog Educpros de Christophe Pérales. Pour un droit à la lecture computationnelle à l’ère numérique
En Occident, aux alentours de la fin du IIème ou du début du IIIème siècle de notre ère, pour des raisons sur lesquelles débattent encore les historiens du livre, une mutation se fait jour dans le domaine de l’écrit, qui aura des conséquences profondes sur la manière dont va se construire désormais le savoir : le codex, le livre tel que nous le connaissons encore aujourd’hui, va peu à peu se substituer au volumen, le rouleau de papyrus, de lin ou de parchemin, qui jusqu’alors avait constitué pour l’Antiquité, à côté de l’inscription sur ou dans la pierre, le principal support de l’écrit

Understanding the eTextbook war—and how to prepare

eCampus NewsBy Meris Stansbury - . Numerous reports by various vendors continue to confuse the public: Students hate eBooks; students love eBooks! Some campuses have spearheaded the eTextbook initiative, while some say the technology isn’t there yet. It may seem like a storm best waited out, but, just like with most disruptive technology, that’s incorrect: eBooks are coming, and eTextbooks are the future. More...
