Can an algorithm edit a journal? Can a library exist without books? Can students build and manage their own learning management platforms? Can a conference be held without a program? Can Twitter replace a scholarly society? (…)
In keeping with the spirit of hacking, the book will itself be an exercise in reimagining the edited volume.
Any blog post, video response, or other media created for the volume and tweeted (or tagged) with the hashtag #hackacad will be aggregated at hackingtheacademy.org (submissions should use a secondary tag — #class #society #conf #journal #book #tenure #cv #dept #edtech #library — to designate chapters).
The best pieces will go into the published volume. The volume will also include responses such as blog comments and tweets to individual pieces. If you’ve already written something that you would like included, that’s fine too, just be sure to tweet or tag it (or email us the link to where it’s posted).
Así se presenta el proyecto llevado a cabo por Tom Scheinfeldt y Dan Cohen (he querido resaltar algunas ideas) mediante el cual se propusieron escribir y publicar un libro colaborativo sobre «hackear las instituciones académicas» y reconstruir la educación, y lo han conseguido en una semana.
Los capítulos del libro, que han estado abiertos a colaboraciones del 21 al 28 de mayo, son los siguientes:
- Lectures, Classrooms, and the Curriculum
- Educational technology
- Scholarly Societies and Conferences
- Scholarship and Scholarly Communication
- Academic Employment, Tenure, and Scholarly Identity
- Departments and disciplines
- Libraries
- More Hacking
- Criticisms of this Book
En NodosELE llevamos ya tiempo tratando muchos de estos temas y este trabajo nos ha llamado la atención principalmente por cómo ha sido elaborado y editado colaborativamente, dando importancia a los medios de comunicación que utilizamos.
Este es uno de los caminos por los que apostamos.
