OVERALL SUMMARY:

Research

We need some equivalent to OCLC for distributed cooperative/collaborative system/network to capture full-text, sound, images, and moving images, and bibliographic data. We want the data (e.g. primary sources) to be free, available on a non-subscription basis, with no unnecessary graphics, etc. Want it to be available to the broadest possible audience world-wide.

Artists

Types of projects

developing screen based narratives (video games that are interactive theatre events),
incorporation of digital technology into performance, can use collaboration with computer sciences
actually developing tools that theatre artists could use to create theatre performance without having to know sophisticated code.

Teachers

Looking at data through the lens of pedagogy, there needs to be more there - availability of media - all kinds of primary sources.

How to rely on the accuracy and how to teach our students to evaluate accuracy. Integrated pedagogical tools to lead students through to gather evidence and present.

Paradigms

a very sophisticated but very simple search engine
a flexible way to present data to involve simultaneous display - teacher creates meaning voice recognition to be able to call up a prepared bookshelf, be a small subset so not to lose train
copyright - difficulty of copyright - need to find a way to get the right people paid and give people access, rethink how
