On the digital campus
Hello,
I'm Robbie McClintock, a retired professor working to further the digital campus, an important emergent transformation in higher education. Perceiving dispersed parts of it, we form many partial views, diffusing its importance and novelty. Let's seek clarity about what the digital campus does, how it works, who it serves, where it flourishes, and why it is important.
To begin, consider place. Places interest us because that's where human experience happens, where it takes place.
At the fringe, there are exceptions, but it is fair to say that each college and university, and other educational institutions, has a campus, a physical place, buildings and grounds, which situates each institution and the people and activities that constitute it in space and time. Each particular campus differs from all the others, but they have common features and uses. If we have studied or worked at one campus, we will understand a good deal about how any one of the other ones function.
Physical arrangements enabling academic life to take place took elemental form in medevil cities 6 centuries ago, continuously developing since then.
