Digital Media and Learning Competition

The Digital Media and Learning Competition’s first year, 2007-08, was extremely successful. The MacArthur Foundation has generously granted additional support that will fund the Competition for two more years. In each year, $2,000,000 will be awarded to emerging leaders who use new digital technologies to envision the future of learning. The project is administered by HASTAC (the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory), which was co-founded by UCHRI Director David Theo Goldberg and Cathy Davidson, named Professor and former Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies at Duke University.

The DML Studio

UCHRI has been awarded a grant from the MacArthur Foundation to develop THE DML STUDIO: A Research Collaboratory for Media and Learning. The DML Studio will develop a proposal for a set of knowledge networks, activities, and institutional relationships that will function as a studio for hands-on work and as a hub for Digital Media and Learning field-building activities. This planning grant will establish the governance structure and constitutive groups for the collaboratory, set a prominent agenda for digital media and learning, seed activities to catalyze collaborative practices and conversations, connect with international and other institutional partners, and provide infrastructural leadership for transforming lifelong learning practices.

The Future of Learning Institutions in a Digital Age
Cathy N. Davidson and David Theo Goldberg

"The Future of Learning Institutions in a Digital Age” responds to the MacArthur Foundation’s monograph series on Digital Media and Learning in finding solutions to how social and civic institutions can change as a result of, in response to, and in order to promote new kinds of learning in the information age. In collaboration with Duke University and under the auspices of HASTAC, UCHRI has produced forums on "The Future of Learning Institutions in a Digital Age" as well as a monograph co-written, with many collaborators, by Davidson and Goldberg.
