Cathy N. Davidson, professor of English and interdisciplinary studies at Duke University, speaks about rethinking education in the digital world. She argues that academics need to understand the role of new technologies in their students' current and future lives — and think about better ways of teaching that take advantage of these new modes of working and interacting online. This will help students to think about the social, economic, aesthetic and intellectual issues of the new media they enjoy. (#22897)
