“Once they were hosts to lively discussions about academic style and substance, but the time of scholarly e-mail lists has passed, meaningful posts slowing to a trickle as professors migrate to blogs, wikis, Twitter, and social networks like Facebook.” Chronicle of Higher Education
“Integral to higher education, academic integrity stands as a cornerstone of academic life. However, compelling evidence of widespread academic dishonesty among Net-Generation students threatens to undermine both the environment of trust that nourishes integrity and the safeguards that help ensure it. Working from their experience with widespread cheating on low-stakes quizzes in a large introductory information systems class, Valerie Milliron and Kent Sandoe describe the Net Generation’s culture of cheating and explore ways to detect and deter cheating. Detailing technological, content-based, and behavioral approaches to detection and deterrence, Milliron and Sandoe provide an overview of the extent and the nature of cheating within the Net Generation.”
“One way of better understanding Net-Generation learners is to examine the texts they create on online social networking, blogging, and image sites as well as in virtual worlds. Mark Mabrito and Rebecca Medley explore the nature of Net-Generation texts as a reflection of the cognitive differences between this generation’s students and their older instructors, discuss the unique challenges this group of learners may present for instructors who do not share their technological immersion, and suggest the means by which such challenges may be overcome. To accommodate the needs of the Net Generation, Mabrito and Medley suggest that faculty must reconsider traditional pedagogy and integrate more innovative ways of instruction for this significantly different population of students.”

“Started in 2000, the Stanford Humanities Lab (SHL) discovers “fascinating futures to be explored in ignoring and crossing disciplinary borders.” The Lab engages in a number of research projects that are collaborative, co- creative, and team-based. These projects have resulted in new media projects, interactive archives, predictive models of social changes, and exhibitions.”
