space constructed through
networked technologies
the imagined collective which emerges
(people + tech + practice)
“I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process [of] establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity.”
@Joi Ito (2011)

Networked participatory scholarship is the emergent practice of scholars’ use of participatory technologies and online social networks to share, reflect upon, critique, improve, validate, and further their scholarship...
In courses organized as networks… course activity takes place in distributed online fora. This type of online course breaks away from the norm of 20th century university scholarship by positioning knowledge around social connections rather than around content, enabling scholars to re-envision teaching instruction, their role as teachers, and the ways that knowledge is acquired.”
Veletsianos & Kimmons (2012)

digital identity
digital dualism
physical world digital world ‘REAL’ ‘VIRTUAL’?
...our reality is both technological and organic, both digital and physical, all at once. We are not crossing in and out of separate digital and physical realities, a la The Matrix, but instead live in one reality, one that is augmented by atoms and bits.
Nathan Jurgenson (2011)@nathanjurgenson
Digital Dualism versus Augmented Reality
It is wrong to say “IRL” to mean offline: Facebook is real life.

So… what to do?
SOCIAL ACADEMIC
a few ideas…
take ownership of your digital identity; think about your online hub
first… observe, listen & learn
then… engage in conversations, contribute
experiment (tools, spaces, identities, etc.)
consider openness (e.g. Creative Commons)
enjoy!
