Nils S. Peterson, Assistant Director of the Office of Assessment and Innovation at Washington State University
 * ** Credentialing & Peer-to-Peer Learning **

Nils Peterson will examine how open communities of peers can and do provide feedback to, and credentialing for, learners, and will consider how this can be brought back inside the traditional University. During the presentation, audience members will provide live feedback & assessment via an online form at [] with results being displayed in a real-time tag cloud at__ [] __. A question and answer session will follow.

David Gibson, Associate Research Professor of Education at Arizona State University David Gibson will address new possibilities and computational frameworks for assessment stemming from evidence centered design theory, consider the traditional decisions and dilemmas of assessment, and explore the affordances of immersive digital media learning environments. Examples of tools for analysis will include dynamical systems modeling, evolutionary programming, connectionist networks and GIS mapping. A question and answer session will follow.
 * ** Assessment & Digital Media Learning **

Anne Balsamo, Director of the Interactive Media Co-Design Lab, Professor of Interactive Media at the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California, and Professor of Communication at Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Southern California
 * ** Ethics of Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration **

Anne Balsamo will explore the question of the ethics of cross-disciplinary collaboration. She will guide the audience through the process of creating a collaborative tag cloud based on individually produced keywords. The purpose is to demonstrate the process of collective "tagging" and to reflect on the knowledge that is created (or left out) through such digital exercises. A question and answer session will follow.

** Lunch Break ** ** 12:00-1:30pm ** OnlyBurger, John Hope Franklin Center Parking Lot []

** Afternoon Session ** ** Peer-to-Peer Learning Unconference ** 1:30-5:30pm Room 240 & Breakout Rooms (see map), John Hope Franklin Center

** 1:30pm ** ** Introduction and outline of process ** ** Ruby SInreich, Director of New Media Strategies, HASTAC **

"The unconference format creates space for peer-to-peer learning, collaboration and creativity.

At the start, the whole group will gather together and be guided through creating an agenda using open space technology. The exact process is not important to understand in advance – the process will become clear as it happens. The important part is that all those gathered will have the opportunity to put conference sessions on the agenda. No session will be voted off or ‘won’t happen’ for some other reason. All sessions are welcome.

The sessions convened will range from the formal to the informal: · From the well thought out pre-prepared talk reflecting years of research and practice to the spur of the moment ‘new idea’ that would be fun to talk about. · From the demonstration of a working tool to the whiteboarding of something completely new."

 * About Your Hosts **

Founded in 2002, HASTAC ("haystack") is a free, voluntary network of individuals and institutions inspired by the possibilities that new technologies offer us for shaping how we learn, teach, communicate, create, and organize our local and global communities. Dedicated to new media, critical thinking and participatory learning, HASTAC believes the digital era provides rich opportunities for informal and formal learning and for collaborative, networked research that extends across traditional disciplines, across the boundaries of academe and community, across the "two cultures" of humanism and technology, across the divide of thinking versus making, and across social strata and national borders.
 * HASTAC **

HASTAC administers the [|John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation's] [|Digital Media and Learning Competition] --an annual effort designed to find and to inspire the most novel uses of new media in support of learning. The infrastructure for HASTAC has been largely provided by the [|John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies] and the [|Franklin Humanities Institute] at [|Duke University] and the [|University of California Humanities Research Institute]. More information is at [|http://www.hastac.org].

The HASTAC Scholars program is comprised of over 165 graduate and undergraduate students from all over the world who are engaged with innovative projects and research at the intersection of digital media & learning, 21st century education, the digital humanities, and technology in the arts, humanities and sciences. The Scholars blog, host forums, organize events and discuss new ideas, projects, experiments, and technologies that reconceive teaching, learning, research, writing and structuring knowledge. For more information and to see Scholars discussion forums, please see the [|HASTAC Scholars website] ([] )

** Supported by ** Supported by the [|John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation] as part of its Digital Media and Learning portfolio, the [|Digital Media and Learning Research Hub] is a major initiative of the University of California Humanities Research Institute. Both the UC-wide Humanities Research Institute and the Research Hub are based at the UC Irvine campus.
 * Digital Media and Learning Research Hub **

The MacArthur Foundation launched its five-year [|Digital Media and Learning] initiative in 2006 to help determine how digital technologies are changing the way people, especially young people, learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life. Answers are critical to developing educational and other social institutions that can meet the needs of this and future generations.

** With special thanks to ** __ http://jhfc.duke.edu __ The John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies is a unique consortium of programs committed to revitalizing notions of how knowledge is gained and exchanged. Participants from a broad range of disciplines converge to explore intellectual issues, including some of the most pressing social and political themes of our time: race and race relations, the legacy of the African-American experience, equality and opportunity among diverse populations, the implications of accelerated globalization. At its core, the Center claims an intrepid and daring mission: to bring together humanists and those involved in the social sciences in a setting that inspires vigorous scholarship and imaginative alliances. In this way, historians, artists, literary scholars, and philosophers contribute to a rich understanding of moral and ethical issues like the question " [|who can do my homework]?".
 * John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies, Duke University **

Inspired by the example of John Hope Franklin--Duke professor emeritus, historian, intellectual leader, and lifelong civil rights activist--the Franklin Center embraces a creative cross-pollination of ideas, perspectives, and methodologies. Using such sophisticated resources as multimedia and high-speed videoconferencing, the Franklin Center employees advanced technologies not only as a means to an end, but as objects of critical inquiry themselves. These striking new directions in higher education require the marriage of philosophical imagination and pragmatic design.

// The mission of the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University is to encourage and enable serious humanistic inquiry, and to promote a heightened awareness of the centrality of the humanities to the quality of human life, social interaction, and scholarship in all fields. To these ends, we emphasize a broad conception of interdisciplinarity – one that encompasses all methods and approaches, and which acknowledges the importance of the core humanities disciplines – as well as scholarly work that examines issues of social equity, especially research on race and ethnicity in their most profound historical and international dimensions. In this ambitious mission, we are inspired by the late John Hope Franklin, James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of History. // Founded in 1999, the Franklin Humanities Institute (FHI) is built on a fundamentally collaborative model fitting Duke’s emphasis on facilitating interdisciplinary cross-fertilization. FHI’s new **[|**Humanities Laboratories**]** initiative aims to contribute to Duke's research and pedagogical missions by convening groups of faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates around discipline-crossing projects, in spaces designed specifically to facilitate collaborative work. Complementing our historic strengths in supporting faculty and graduate scholarship, the Labs invite undergraduates to participate as researchers themselves, helping to define emerging and future areas of humanistic inquiry. The inaugural Humanities Laboratory will be the **[|**Haiti Lab**]**, which coalesced in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake with the goal of merging research, education, and practical applications of innovative thinking for Haiti's disaster recovery and for the expansion of Haitian studies in the U.S. and Haiti.
