"Publishing Learning from YouTube"
by Alexandra Juhasz
Professor of Media Studies, Pitzer College
Professor Juhasz will address her experience in Fall 2007 and Fall 2008
when she taught an experimental online course to learn the strengths
and limitations of moving a set of common experiences (teaching, learning,
and "writing") fully into the digital space. Professor Juhasz
now faces the challenges of translating the trials and tribulations
of adapting her experiments in Web 2.0 pedagogy into a digital "book".
Her work thus thematizes and reflects on a new era of digital and academic
publishing, including new approaches to audience, montage, linearity,
interactivity, network, and temporality. Professor Juhasz's talk explains
how this publication will speak to an audience of scholars, committed
intellectuals, and media activists through its simple interface, referring
to that which it critiques and simultaneously performing what YouTube
precludes.
