U. of Kentucky's Technology Leadership Center Will Be Run From Iowa - Wired Campus - Th... - 1 views

  • The reservations don’t surprise Cole W. Camplese, senior director of teaching and learning with technology at Pennsylvania State University. “Anytime there is a radical change in the way things are done, people will be cautious,” he says. The university has apparently decided this is worth the risk, he adds. Mr. Camplese also notes that Mr. McLeod is well-regarded and very experienced. “If anyone can pull this off, it will be someone like Scott,” he says.

University of Iowa - Civil War Diaries Crowdsourcing Transcription Project - 2 views

  •  
    This reminded me of Cole Camplese's comments on the instant crowdsourcing of video recording the sessions at the 2011 TLT Symposium, Clay Shirky's example of that socially-written mathematics (?) paper, and a bit of Chris Long's posts on using digital tools in research.

    The socially-written paper was about "P vs NP", which is a computer science/mathematics problem. A fairly simple explanation is here: http://www.claymath.org/millennium/P_vs_NP/ But yeah - crowdsourcing stuff like this is great when you have a community of people who really care about it. It's like having an army of amateur archeologists.

Dangerously Irrelevant | Big Think - 2 views

  • January 2011. Lots of mental anguish in the McLeod household. The job may be the best professional setup I’ll ever get. But it’s not the right time to move our family from Ames, Iowa. What to do, what to do? Think outside the box! Pitch UK a ‘global worker’ proposal. 90% of my work is online / electronic anyway. Can I remain in Ames and fly to Lexington a few days a month to take care of the rest? We wait anxiously, fingers and toes crossed. UK says YES!

    Scott does really interesting work and his move to UK will have implications for our field in more ways than one.  A key to consider, is it OK for a tenured Associate Professor to set up shop at a major University and not live there?  Teaching I can working well, but that is only a piece of what one does as an academic at a place like UK or PSU.
