Going beyond?

Or…did we ever really leave?

A Caveat.

“If you fear change, leave it here”

"For the first time in human history, two related propositions are true. One, it no longer is possible to
store within the human brain all of the information that a human needs.
Second, it no longer is necessary to store within the human brain all of the information that humans need.
Education needs to be geared toward the handling of data rather than the accumulation of data.”
Context for Communication, Berlo, 1975

Abundance = Overload. And possibility.
The exceeding of boundaries

…So. We are already “beyond libraries” & “beyond the institution.”

Higher ed is over.
Everybody go home.

WAIT.

Structure of Abundance = Networks

NETWORKS = many-to-many communications
![Page 23: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Networks are not just for consuming, but connecting
https://www.flickr.com/photos/baggyjumper/6635779085/
![Page 24: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Many-to-many communications make
communicators into network nodes, forming webs of visible (& invisible)
connections
![Page 25: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So what visions do we have for “going beyond” into networked practice?
What do professional identities *look
like* beyond the boundaries?
¤ Abundance is not a deterministic system, but a complexification of systems
¤ Higher ed is not over, just complexified
¤ Important to work towards new systems that operate on logics of learning, not just
business or media
![Page 26: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Networked practice beyond the boundaries:
1. Opening up identity 2. Opening up engagement & contribution 3. Opening up publics
![Page 27: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
VISION 1: IDENTITY
In institutional structures, an individual
has a role.
In a networked culture, an individual
has an identity, which it is his/her job to
differentiate.
![Page 28: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Networked education looks like THIS

Price of admission = public identity
![Page 30: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
You need to work on digital identity before it will work for you
![Page 31: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Digital identity can offer control…
![Page 32: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/theeerin/331217199/
But where are the other controls?
![Page 33: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Networked platforms can reduce identity to algorithms
![Page 34: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Networked identities can be difficult to contain & compartmentalize
![Page 35: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Networked identities can amplify vulnerability
via commodification + re-inscription of societal biases
![Page 36: Beyond the Institution: Networked Professionals & Digital Engagement in Higher Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587a8a3b1a28ab58288b57eb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
…can we just go back in the schoolhouse?
• 76.4% of instructional staff in US higher ed are contingent (AAUP, 2014)
• 67.5% of instructional staff in ON colleges are p/t (Colleges Ontario, 2013)
• StatsCan stopped tracking full-time faculty in 2011 L

Cyborg identities
Non-binary, subversive, & unfaithful to their origins

“The dichotomies between mind &
body, animal & human, organism & machine, public &
private, nature & culture, men &
women, primitive & civilized are all in
question ideologically” - Haraway,1991

“Cyborg writing is about the power to
survive, not on the basis of original
innocence but on the basis of seizing the
tools to mark the world that marked
them as other.” - Haraway, 1991

VISION 2: ENGAGEMENT & CONTRIBUTION
In institutional structures,
gatekeeping is a hallmark of official communication &
contribution.
In a networked culture, the means/modes are open, but
the communicator must cultivate his/her audience.

Hashtag activism = cyborg engagement?
“Bodies are maps of power and identity. A cyborg body is not innocent; it was not born in a garden; it does not seek unitary identity and so generate antagonistic dualisms without end (or until the world ends). The machine is us, our processes, an aspect of our embodiment.” - A Cyborg Manifesto, Haraway, 1991
