MacArthur Series On Digital Media and Learning
"Despite a long history of scholarship and attention in the press, research on \ndigital media and youth has tended to divide along traditional disciplinary \nlines. A key goal of this project will be to catalyze conversations and \nnetworking across divided communities. Essays will capture the original thinking \nthat emerges from the collaboration of disciplines such as cognitive science, \nlinguistics, communications, media studies, developmental psychology, education \npolicy, and game studies. It is our expectation that these volumes will serve \nnot only as a seminal corpus for new scholarship, but as a demonstration of the \npotential of new educational approaches for the developers of digital media."

Students learning to be virtually anyone
The four year 10 students from Debney Park Secondary College in Flemington
are part of a group that participated in the Avatar Project, a study into
information technology and social disadvantage.
Funded by VicHealth, the study was initiated and conducted by a team from the
School of Education and the Work-Based Education Research Centre at Victoria
University.
The focus of the study, says research team leader John Martino, was to find
out whether and how technology might make a difference to social disadvantage.
''We wanted to know whether we could develop a set of skills that would both
transcend that inequality and open up the potential to do things they [the
students] might otherwise not have access to.''
