Dear AOIR List Members, I wanted to announce the launch of a new blog: http://www.futuresoflearning.org/. Hosted at the University of California Humanities Research Institute at University of California, Irvine, Futures of Learning is a collective blog dedicated to the topic of new media and learning. The blog is part of the Digital Media and Learning Studio, a research network hub in development at UCHRI and funded by the MacArthur Foundation. The members of the blog are part of a project conducting an international survey of research in the field in two areas. One is an international review of research on how people are adopting digital and networked media (mobile phones, gaming, internet use and digital media production) around the world. The second area is a review of learning institutions that are incorporating new media in innovative ways. We will be using this blog as a way to share some of what we are learning, and to solicit feedback on our work in progress. We have already started posting book and article reviews as well as reports from our visits to various sites and conferences. We welcome your comments and discussion on the Futures of Learning blog. Best, Heather Horst (and the Futures of Learning Team) For more information about the Digital Media and Learning Initiative, please go to www.uchri.org. Apologies in advance for any cross-postings. ___________________________________________ Heather A Horst Associate Project Scientist University of California Humanities Research Institute 307 Aldrich Hall Irvine, CA 92697-3350 Email: <mailto:hhorst@uci.edu> hhorst@uci.edu DML Blog: <http://futuresoflearning.org/> http://futuresoflearning.org/ The Cell Phone Book: <http://www.amazon.com/Cell-Phone-Anthropology-Communication/dp/1845204018> http://www.amazon.com/Cell-Phone-Anthropology-Communication/dp/1845204018 Journal of Legal Anthropology, Book Reviews Editor: http://anthropologies-in-translation.org/content/view/5/6/
