or "Internet Research" degree? Anywhere in the world? I was asked this question at an interview... I guess the HR person was not competent... there is no such thing... Anybody can prove me wrong?

Depends entirely on what you mean by these names: Internet Marketing = e-commerce, with lots of business schools teaching this. Internet Research -- if you mean using and understanding the Internet as a site for searching for information = library science/library and information science, with degree programs everywhere. Internet Research -- if you mean doing empirically based research about the Internet and its use, about applications and application development = graduate progrms in communications, sociology, anthropology, information science, computer science, and probably other fields too (e.g., digital humanities). /Caroline ---- Original message ---- >Date: Mon, 28 May 2007 09:26:20 -0400 >From: "Olga Kellen" <ovkellen(a)hotmail.com> >Subject: [Air-l] Does anybody have an "Internet Marketing" degree? >To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org > >or "Internet Research" degree? >Anywhere in the world? >I was asked this question at an interview... >I guess the HR person was not competent... there is no such thing... >Anybody can prove me wrong? > >Thank you, > >Olga Kellen, >MS in Engineering Physics >self-taught in Internet Marketing and Research > >_________________________________________________________________ >Windows Live Hotmail.

Re: [Air-l] last.fm group

I seem to recall somewhere that there was a study which claimed to be able to extract a lot of personal information from a user through their music tastes. I wonder if the same is true of groups. Although that's a little whimsical, there was a conference held on "radical data" recently; which was all about the use of trace data in social science. By telling Last FM of our music and joining groups we're actually giving Last FM some very rich data about ourselves. For now though, I'm on a quest to scrobble lots of Queens of the Stone Age.

Re: [Air-l] Technology Transforming Education--EE-Learning

Textual and verbal literacy will retain their privileged positions as the key to positions of power and control in society, and as the heart of knowledge work. As the natives becomes increasingly digital they may also become increasingly image-oriented, and decreasingly print literate. Education--schools and colleges--are assigned the task of providing the knowledge and skills the general culture fail to provide. As visual imagery and audio become increasingly pervasive in the general culture, it will fall to the schools and colleges to provide the core skills of print literacy which the digital natives will not develop by immersion in the media. What do you think? Steve E. For what it's worth, I think this is where exactly where things are moving. Though perhaps print literate isn't quite the right phrase. Typographically literate might work better (texts have too many possible connotations). What we are finding, ironically here at the School of Print Media, is a definite move away from the "willing" consumption of typographic texts (be they electronic or paper) by many of our students. We've found that also corresponds with problems articulating arguments and concepts (be it orally or written). The problem that I have with discussions of alternate learning modalities is that typographic text still remains the most prevalent method of understanding abstract concepts, especially in industries where media rich training is too costly to produce. As a technical school, we face the challenge of preparing students for jobs that don't currently exist, using software that we know will be antiquated by the time they leave the university (assuming a four year stint). I cannot, at this moment, foresee an immediate future where one can avoid developing the skills to parse technology manuals and/or typographic web content. It's for those reasons that I (and a number of my colleagues) are moving towards the model that Steve laid out in his final paragraph. We believe that the best way to make our students adaptable is to drill the core skills of typographic literacy (as well as the core skills that publishing production is based upon). I am working to come up with better ways to orient those skills in a larger media ecosystem. However, retrograde as it may sound, we believe that typographic literacy, and the skills that are developed through the study of it, are the foundation on which success will be based. - Matt -- ----------------------------- Matthew Bernius New Media and Customer Intelligence Strategist for Hire mBernius(a)gMail.com http://www.waking-dream.com

Hi, all, What I find at least as interesting as the discussion is *where* did the person who found the youtube.com video come across it? I had already seen it a few hours earlier, posting to another online community. Yes, the video is very, very good, and yet I wonder how it got disseminated so quickly. What were the crucial links there in that process? cheers, andee

All, I wanted to comment on two or three things that have come out of this thread. First, on typography and using special effects on th listserve, this occurred to me, too, the othr day, as I observed a friend using different colors and fonts to send an e-mail. I'm trying it here, tho I suppose (hasty supposition?) that this will just come out on screen as regular black typeface. My question, however, is whether or not this list (with aoir permision) would be interested in using such special faces. It would, obviously, change the tenor of the discussions (I think). This leads to a second point: would there be interest in either exploring thes ideas of fonts, etc. offlist or in a group like the last.fm one Nancy Baym mentions (or in that same group, if I may be so presumptuous)? Does new.typeface conflate with last.fm? Finally, it seems to me that (following the lead of others who have meintioned similar things) the history of printing with its illuminated manuscripts, novels with engravings, illustrated mags, et6c., confirms that we're living in the virtual evolution of a process. ut pictura poesis & all that.
