Here&#8217;s a short excerpt from the grant application:<br \/>\nWith the advent of the cd-rom in the late 80s, a few pioneering humanities scholars began to develop a new vocabulary for multi-layered, multi-modal digital publications. Since that time, the internet has emerged as a powerful engine for collaboration across peer networks, radically collapsing the distance between authors and readers and creating new communal spaces for work and review.<br \/>\nTo date, these two evolutionary streams have been largely separate. Rich multimedia is still largely consigned to individual consumption on the desktop, while networked collaboration generally occurs around predominantly textual media such as the blogosphere, or bite-sized fragments on YouTube and elsewhere. We propose to carry out initial planning for two ambitious digital publishing projects that will merge these streams into powerfully integrated experiences.<br \/>\nAlthough the locus of scholarly discourse is slowly but clearly moving from bound\/printed pages to networked screens, we&#8217;ve yet to reach the tipping point. The printed book is still the gold standard of the academy. The goal of these projects is to produce born-digital works that are as elegant as printed books and also draw on the power of audio and video illustrations and new models of community-based inquiry -?\u009d and do all of these so well that they inspire a generation of young scholars with the promise of digital scholarship.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re going to hold three meetings grouped by discipline -?\u009d History, Music and Media Studies.<br \/>\nConsider this an <strong>invitation to apply<\/strong> to be part of one of these sessions. If you think you can make a significant contribution to the discussion, please send us a note.  Or if you know someone else who would be perfect, please pass the word on to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve got a small NEH grant to hold a couple of brainstorming sessions. the overarching goal of the sessions is to come up with a conceptual framework for learning spaces which combine the rich media attributes of the cd-rom era with the collaborative affordances of the net.
