Education Upgrade
Colleges shake their reputation as late adoptersBy Lorna Collier
This article looked at the findings of the Horizon Report, which identified Digent as a novel way to support collaboration. Now, I cannot find any […]

Here is the NYTimes article describing how Facebook continues to open its API to leverage its userbase to be the default social system online. Google and others are not so far along. Can they maintain the excitement?New Tool From Facebook Extends Its Web Presence   

Hiya, Google released their 3D world to beta today. It is called Lively.  I found much easier to use than secondlife, but with less power.

Congratulations to RIT’s own Steve Shapiro and team!

Discovery. Its the one of Nick’s subcomponents that keeps popping up all over the place in my life. Maybe all of the online […]

Hey folks,
Another quarter has come and gone and there are lots of ideas floating around at various stages of implementation. Students in my Object Oriented Analysis and Design course as well as those in Digital Entrepreneurship have created a set of 20 or more great business ideas. I have mentioned on numerous occasions the RIT […]

Good News! Our DigEnt Community (http://digent.rit.edu) has been listed as a leading example of a Collaboration Web by the New Media Consortium (http://nmc.org). Community member Joeann Humbert made the connection between DigEnt and NMC. Congratulations to all community members whose work received this acknowledgement!
See pages 14 and 15 of the Horizon Report http://www.nmc.org/pdf/2008-Horizon-Report.pdf

I just returned from an invigorating two days at my first NSF Future INternet Design (FIND) community meeting. As you may know, Golisano Computing colleague Nirmala Shenoy and I were fortunate to have a grant accepted for this program.
What I learned quickly at this meeting is that the FIND community are a VERY impressive group […]

We are experiencing a real tipping point in our Digital Entrepreneurship community (http://digent.rit.edu)! This Fall, with no class to drive it, the digent social network has grown approximately 33% larger.
Why is this happening? First, RIT’s Entrepreneurship Conference attracted more local people to the network. Then, Richard DeMartino has invited a number of prestigious faculty who […]
