3. 1. Learning Spaces and Institutional Cyberinfrastructure CNI 2004 Fall Task Force Meeting

4. NSF and Cyberinfrastructure “The emerging vision is to use cyberinfrastructure to build more ubiquitous, comprehensive digital environments that become interactive and functionally complete for research communities in terms of people, data, information, tools, and instruments that operate at unprecedented levels of computational, storage, and data transfer capacity.” Report of the NSF Blue Ribbon Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure CNI 2004 Fall Task Force Meeting

5. ACLS Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences “Ed Ayers has commented that much of the work of developing the Valley of the Shadow was analogous to building a printing press when none existed. Effective cyberinfrastructure for the humanities and social sciences will allow scholars to focus their intellectual and scholarly energies on the issues that engage them, and to be effective users of new media and new technologies, rather than having to invent them.” CNI 2004 Fall Task Force Meeting

28. “When people talk to me about the Digital Divide, I think of it not being so much about who has access to what technology as who knows how to create and express themselves in this new language of the screen.” George Lucas, EDUTOPIA , 2004 CNI 2004 Fall Task Force Meeting

29. What DO students know about technology and information? “To say that our students, having grown up with digital media in their homes and in their schools, come to (the university) already equipped with skills and knowledge of information technologies is a misconception.” McEuen, 2001 CNI 2004 Fall Task Force Meeting

45. Northwestern University 2East “The 2East Technology Series is intended for faculty who want to take advantage of the teaching and research capabilities of digital media, course management systems, online archives, advanced visualization technologies, electronic journals, and other emerging technologies.” CNI 2004 Fall Task Force Meeting

46. Located on the second floor of the Vassar College Main Library, the Media Cloisters is a state-of-the-art space for collaborative learning and the exploration of high end technologies. The cloisters serves as the "public sphere" for networked interaction, the gathering place for students, professors, and librarians engaged in planning, evaluating, and reviewing the efforts of research and study utilizing the whole range of technologies of literacy. In this way, the Cloisters channels flows of research, learning and teaching between the increasingly networked world of the library and the intimacy and engagement of our classrooms and other campus spaces. In the Cloisters, course development, class-based projects, and research necessarily become communal, interactive processes, engaging colleagues, students, information specialists, and a networked world of like-minded scholars, artists and media practitioners in active "programming" and explorations.
