There will be no Digital Dialogue next week, February 19. Digital Dialogues will resume on February 26th with Doug Eyman (George Mason), “Play and Pedagogy: An Ecological Framework for Teaching Writing with Video Games.”

Meanwhile, this weekend, several of the MITH team travel to Stanford University for the Metaverse U conference followed by a day and a half of meetings to kick off our work on Preserving Virtual Worlds, the Library of Congress funded project on which we’re partnering with Stanford, the University of Illinois, and RIT.

At Metaverse U, Maryland’s own Kari Kraus (College of Information Studies and English) will speak alongside of luminaries like Howard Rheingold, Brewster Khale, Raph Koster, and Cory Ondrejka.
