I believe that the information economy has already become a global race and an industry that is rarely understood or talked about today in America for the general populous. I believe the future holds many opportunities for open source projects. Within ten to twenty years individuals will search through their environment in a manner similar to how they search via the web today. Cognitive computing will rapidly advance how we utilize our technology and situational and scenario based field trainings will become a regular part of entertainment and educational opportunities. There will be a boom for subject matter experts and social scientists as they create ethnography, situational assessments, and greater collaboration between industries and disciplines which will make relating to devices and each other a better experience. I believe that as we enter into a global environment and an increasingly connected society, strategic planning will be needed to advance in an increasingly competitive environment. Educational institutions and corporations have under estimated the value of E-learning and we can already see the offerings in E-learning skyrocket globally. Community Learning Networks are progressively being relied upon and, as technology advances, community groups will become a more significant part of our lives as advocators for knowledge and cultural community competencies.

]]> Dana Neugent et al. Love To Sign http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/dcvc/2 http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/dcvc/2 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:34:18 PDT My name is Courtney Walker and I'm a sophomore, president, and founder of the American Sign Language club. I made this video to show the world about American Sign Language and how amazing it is. It is its own culture and language that needs to be showed to everyone and the world that the Deaf are people to and we should adapt to incorporate them into society as well as the blind. I wanted to firstly thank my high school American Sign Language Robin Mengual for getting me into sign language,it's such a blessing. Secondly I want to thank my parents for pushing me to follow my dreams and continue my passion for signing. Finally, I'd like to thank Dana Neugent for asking me to make this video and showing that our club is something to talk and show people about.

]]> Courtney Walker Digital Community Voices Committee Initial Agenda http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/dcvc/1 http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/dcvc/1 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:19:49 PDT The overarching goal of this committee is to encourage dialogue around diversity education while encouraging a digital media literacy skillset. This committee will serve as a hub for different departments, associations, and individuals representing a wide spectrum of populations within the URI community and will serve to manage the program in a collegial manner. The Digital Community Voices Committee will utilize writing, the production of multimedia content, and educational digital media products (E-books, TV shorts, podcasts, DVDs, and streaming videos) that showcase diversity, inclusion and community of the URI community. The target audience for the program will be the URI community, prospective community members and the global community interested in issues of diversity. The works from this committee have the potential to engage current and future students to become more involved with the URI community and further connect through shared visions and experiences even before they get to URI.
