Think clearly about what you want to accomplish!
37
Northwestern University 2East The 2East
Technology Series is intended for faculty who
want to take advantage of the teaching and
research capabilities of digital media, course
management systems, online archives, advanced
visualization technologies, electronic journals,
and other emerging technologies.
38
Located on the second floor of the Vassar College
Main Library, the Media Cloisters is a
state-of-the-art space for collaborative learning
and the exploration of high end technologies.
The cloisters serves as the "public sphere" for
networked interaction, the gathering place for
students, professors, and librarians engaged in
planning, evaluating, and reviewing the efforts
of research and study utilizing the whole range
of technologies of literacy. In this way, the
Cloisters channels flows of research, learning
and teaching between the increasingly networked
world of the library and the intimacy and
engagement of our classrooms and other campus
spaces. In the Cloisters, course development,
class-based projects, and research necessarily
become communal, interactive processes, engaging
colleagues, students, information specialists,
and a networked world of like-minded scholars,
artists and media practitioners in active
"programming" and explorations.
