[SDH/SEMI Members] MLA Wiki on Evaluating Work in Digital Media

[Michael Eberle-Sinatra]

Dear all,

on behalf of the MLA Committee on Information Technology on which I sit, I am happy to report that the MLA Wiki on Evaluating Work in Digital Media is available online. This project was undertaken by our committee to provide a way for the academic community to develop, gather, and share materials about the evaluation of work in digital media for purposes of tenure and promotion. 

This project is designed to harness the collective experience and wisdom of our communities. I invite you and your membership to read and contribute to the wiki. Simply go tohttp://wiki.mla.org/index.php/Evaluation_Wiki to see the wiki. Each user who wants to edit or contribute to the wiki will have to create an account by following the "create account" link at the top right corner of the home page.

The contents of the wiki are:

How to Edit the Wiki - a tutorial
Types of Digital Work - a list of types of academic digital work with thoughts as to how they might be presented for evaluation and how they might then be evaluated
Short Guide to Evaluation of Digital Work - a list of questions evaluators can ask about digital work being assessed for tenure and promotion
Stories - a collection of fictional and real cases with suggestions as to how these cases might be prepared and evaluated
Documenting a New Media Case - a section for faculty members on how to document and present digital work for tenure and promotion
Frequently Asked Questions - about job seeking in the digital humanities
Links and Bibliography - about the evaluation of digital work in the humanities
Discussions - of each of the wiki areas
To Do - a list of things to do to improve this wiki.
If you have any questions about the wiki, please feel free to contact Steve Olsen at solsen at mla.org

Best wishes,
M.
