(I.e., that there's a necessary and right division of labor between thought and implementation: since the person(s) handling the thought component can't handle the imp side, the implementors must not be able to contribute at all to the thought side.) It's a reaction of insecurity. <br /><br />I don't believe you'll have this particular blind spot!Sharon K.

In any case, to get them to work well I might need them to learn more computer stuff than I have time to teach, what with all the poetics and writing and research skills that I already need to cover.Nataliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954034499196842959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967476903991259470.post-5095376839939547152009-11-08T18:35:03.243-05:002009-11-08T18:35:03.243-05:00If the students want ever to publish their work, t...If the students want ever to publish their work, then it'd be best not to put the in-progress versions online publicly. Password checkpoint is one easy way around this (bSpace, WordPress, Dreamwidth, LiveJournal, plain old .htaccess file, etc.).<br /><br />Re: invisible labor and digital initiatives, my experience + observation suggest that digital initiatives are more expensive than print-bound ones of comparable scope. For one thing, most digital-publication projects develop one or more project-specific tools; publishing a critical edition in book form, unless it happens also to involve software dev in order to achieve the edition, is a well-rehearsed art as well as craft. Then too, though it's complicated to figure out how many copies to print, how many need to be kept on hand in which warehouses, etc., that kind of maintenance has known parameters, whereas maintenance over time for digital projects still needs to be argued for, sometimes begged. (That applies both to projects with faculty PIs and to other scholarly projects.)Sharon K. Goetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919021425045032416noreply@blogger.com
