Welcome to the Duke Digital Initiative
Enabling Duke faculty and students to put new and emerging technologies to use in support of teaching and learning.
Through the Duke Digital Initiative, faculty and students can:
- Connect and collaborate remotely, with guest speakers and peers at other campuses, using Web and video technologies.
- Share comments and build discussions around images and video using VoiceThread.
- Explore new, flexible publishing platforms to share digital media and extend learning beyond classroom walls.
- Encourage new forms of student reflection and course content engagement with Twitter.
- Experiment with new teaching applications for mobile devices.
- Use microprojectors to teach in nontraditional spaces.
Flip cameras – http://www.theflip.com/ — are small, portable video cameras intended to help make student and faculty video production as painless as possible – removing the technology piece as an obstacle to integrating video into the classroom. Flip cameras represented over half of all loans of video equipment in Spring 2009. (see DDI Program Summary Academic Year 2008-2009 Report).
