Storming the Academy

Hosted by HASTAC ("haystack": Humanities, Arts, Sciences, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory, http://www.hastac.org), a free and voluntary network of networks that, since 2002, has been "storming the academy" by using and developing new media to support interactive, participatory learning and assessment methods, while thinking critically and creatively about the role and importance and equitable access to new media throughout a global society.

Participating in the Activities Tent, members of the HASTAC@Duke team (infrastructure for HASTAC is supported by and located at Duke University) who are also co-administrators (with the HASTAC Team at UCHRI in Irvine, CA) of the HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition:

Purpose: How can we use the principles and platforms of open learning and peer-to-peer assessment to transform traditional higher education and formal learning principles that are deeply rooted in a 19th and 20th century industrial age mentality?

Proposed Activities: (NOTE: We are soliciting more ideas from our entire HASTAC network and will be building this out further in coming weeks.)

  • Storming the Syllabus: Interactive slideshow and wiki showcasing the most original syllabi available in higher ed around the world
  • Storming Scholarly Publishing: Exhibit of various current experiments with peer-to-peer publishing, online publishing, response communities (peer-to-peer book reviews), online bookclubs, and other interaactive sources
  • Storming Tenure: Web display of efforts by several national organizations and individuals to reevaluate the modes and methods of tenure
  • Storming the Grade Book: How can we use Badges and other forms of peer-assessment within the traditional spaces of the academy. Cathy Davidson's "How to Crowdsource Grading" caused an uproar in academe and beyond. How? Why? What was the result? And how can you do it too?
  • Storming IT: IT (Instructional Technology) at universities and high schools is a multi-billion dollar proprietary industry. What can we do, at Drumbeat, to start making and improving upon existing open source tools that allow us to create public and private blogging and communication systems for our classes, better assessment systems, and mobile apps that allow students and profs to communicate with one another and the world.
