digital digs: robot graders, new aesthetic, and the end of the close reading industry - 0 views

  •  
    This post brings together several threads I've been pondering recently: the explosion of conversation over the new aesthetic (see Ian Bogost and Bruce Sterling), conversation about the future of digital humanities (see Steven Ramsay and Ted Underwood), and an insightful post from Cathy Davidson on attention and education. He just separates "creative writers" from creative people so that the students have creative ideas but communicate them in an "uncreative," dull, mechanical, machinelike way where the fact that computers and people have different ideas about creativity doesn't matter. I'm interested in how machines read, but I'm not interested in their ability to mimic the dullest responses that humans can generate. Instead, I'm interested in the ways that computers (and other objects) participate in the aesthetic experiences of composition in ways that are "creative" rather than explicitly ignoring creativity. Rather than think of writing as a process where students produce widgets that can pass factory inspection (by robots or humans), maybe we can take up Davidson's suggestion, which might be read here as an invitation to develop new aesthetic relationships.

  • 6 Things to Do in 2009 Find a new way to improve someone’s day (and determine if there’s value in it). Synthesize new ideas from outside your audience’s circle (and help us make meaning from them). Promote the great people out there ( and and keep doing it). Learn from brilliant people (and share what you learn). Work on interesting projects that matter to you (and empower others to participate). Discover your passions (and share them openly).
  • The first group of students has decided in advance that something of value might be said, and so they’re on the lookout for those valuable points. The  second group has made the opposite decision; they don’t expect anything said or shown in class to be worth their while, and so they don’t find anything in class worthwhile

Quality in Education: Systems Thinking In Education - 0 views

  • In the classroom, systems thinking explores the interdependencies among the elements of a system, looking for patterns rather than memorizing isolated facts. Systems thinking encourages creativity, questioning and problem solving.  Systems thinking involves shifting attention  from the parts to the whole,  from objects to relationships,  from structures to processes,  from hierarchies to networks, from the rational to the intuitive,  from analysis to synthesis,  from linear to non-linear thinking.
