This Week’s Theme: Credibility in Digital Media

Filed at 8:44 am on November 21, 2006 in Credibility2 comments

Spotlighting voices drawn from the MacArthur Series online dialogs on credibility conducted earlier this month.

On behalf of Miriam Metzger and myself, welcome to this week’s spotlight on credibility in digital media and learning.  (Last week Anna Everett spotlighted race and ethnicity.)

To understand the topic, we just posted an introduction to credibility entry on this site.  Also, check out the list of authors on the Credibility volume page for the MacSeries.

Most importantly, keep checking this blog the rest of this week as we spotlight several important voices on this vital topic. We’re already expecting posts from Kate Wittenberg (here), Kristina Woolsey (here), Ron Rice (here), and Deanna Kuhn (here).

Could you guys please STOP BOLDING random statements IN YOUR posts?  It REALLY DISRUPTS the flow of THE POSTS and STRIKES A very sensationalist look.

Nathan, thanks for the suggestion.  We’ve actually had some readers tell us they like the bolding.  But since you disagree, the Spotlight editorial folks will revisit our style policy over the next week or so.  If others care to weigh in here, we’re listening!

Robust discussion/debate is encouraged. Comments are reviewed before posting to ensure they are on topic and do not promote commercial products or services.
