And this last one is perhaps the most useful for me:
"I would define it as the intersection between computing technologies and research and teaching in the humanities. Influenced by web technologies, it also promotes collaborative approaches to scholarship." — Alexandra Guerson
This definition resonates with me in a couple of ways: first, I concur with the idea of "collaborative approaches to scholarship." Our digital world certainly allows--perhaps, encourages--collaboration. Also, as Terry Heick asserts: ". . .the 21st century’s model is form and interdependence." Web 2.0, I believe, has positioned us for Heick's assertion and the very collaboration in this definition.
I have to "ditto" what I have just said to the idea in the definition of "computing technologies and research." It is far easier to access information with something as mundane as a search function on my browser as it was keeping hundreds of note cards and multiple legal pads from my dissertation research. This "intersection" has radically changed research across all disciplines.
So far--this definition helps me understand the term, but I am puzzled by how this definition informs my teaching and my students' learning.
