Today the most active and productive online technology teacher-scholars are graduate students. While we more seasoned faculty admire their technological expertise, we are also acutely aware that institutional reviews tend to disparage the work of technology scholars in the humanities. It is incumbent, then, upon the seasoned faculty to smooth the way for these graduate students as they enter the professoriate. To begin the town hall discussion on this issue, I will review, briefly, the CCCC Promotion and Tenure Guidelines for Work with Technology and the recently revised MLA Guidelines for Evaluating Computer-Related Work in the Modern Languages, with an eye toward assessing their adequacy for graduate students. The aim of the ensuing discussion will be to address the problems associated with online scholarship and to come up with tentative plans of action.Check out the following:
