Teaching & Learning Conference Series Next Scholars, Scholarship and the Scholarly Enterprise in the Digital Age The Digital Age is now only 60 years old. Computers, networks and intelligent devices have facilitated and even transformed work in nearly every sphere of human activity. We are entering a new phase of this Age. Where in the past, we have bent IT to our will, making new technologies indispensible tools and partners to facilitate our institutions, today many technologies are running their own course and are transforming entire industries. The newspaper industry, recording industry, and library are vivid examples of this unplanned transformation. This session examines how information technologies are affecting the life of the scholar, the nature of scholarship, and colleges and universities as places of teaching and research. In particular, this session explores whether or not the capacity of IT to unbundle the core elements of a firm or industry will result in dramatic and unplanned changes in higher education.
