The Digital Humanities and Islamic & Middle East Studies
Over the past few decades, humanistic inquiry has been problematized and invigorated by the emergence of what is referred to as the digital humanities. Across multiple disciplines, from history to literature, religious studies to philosophy, archaeology to music, scholars are tapping the extraordinary power of digital technologies to preserve, curate, analyze, visualize, and reconstruct their research objects.
The study of the Middle East and the broader Islamic world has been no less impacted by this new paradigm. Scholars are making daily use of digital tools and repositories including private and state-sponsored archives of textual sources, digitized manuscript collections, densitometrical imaging, visualization and modeling software, and various forms of data mining and analysis. This collection of essays explores the state of the art in digital scholarship pertaining to Islamic & Middle Eastern studies, addressing areas such as digitization, visualization, text mining, databases, mapping, and e-publication. It is of relevance to any researcher interested in the opportunities and challenges engendered by this changing scholarly ecosystem.

Teaching in Blended Learning Environments: Creating and Sustaining Communities of Inquiry
Teaching in Blended Learning Environments provides a coherent framework in which to explore the transformative concept of blended learningÑthe organic integration of complementary face-to-face and online approaches and technologies. Built upon the theoretical framework of the Community of InquiryÑthe premise that higher education is both a collaborative and individually constructivist learning experienceÑthe authors present seven principles for harnessing the opportunities for teaching and learning available through technology. Focusing on teaching practices related to the design, facilitation, direction, and assessment of blended learning experiences, this text addresses the growing demand for improved teaching in higher education.

Social networking for language education
\"Social media are applications that have a networking dimension at the heart of their use. They attract language learners, teachers and providers for different reasons, although they are a controversial issue in language education as we lack evidence whether and how they promote language learning. This book studies the impact of networking with the social media on language learning, through a collection of chapters offering theoretical perspectives and empirical studies of learner experiences in a wide range of networking settings, illustrating through a variety of teaching as well as research methodologies. Through focusing on communities and socialization, together the editors and contributors help to identify priority issues (such as identity and community-building) that need attention if today's social media culture is to work to the benefit of language learners. \"-- Provided by publisher.

The flight of a butterfly or the path of a bullet? : using technology to transform teaching and learning
Larry Cuban returns with fresh energy and insight to one of his perennial topics: the uses and effects of digital technologies in K-12 classrooms. Cuban has an extensive track record as a skeptic about the educational consequences of those technologies. In this book, he returns to this topic by exploring the uses of these technologies in notably ambitious classrooms, all of them in schools in the heart of Silicon Valley. The book looks carefully at 41 classrooms in all, located in twelve schools in six different districts. All have devoted special attention and resources to integrating digital technologies in their education practices. Cuban observed all of these classrooms and interviewed all of the teachers in an effort to answer several straightforward, if also elusive, questions: has technology integration been fully implemented and put into practice in these classrooms? And has this integration and implementation resulted in altered teaching practices? Ultimately, Cuban asks if the use of digital technologies has resulted in transformed teaching and learning in these classrooms. The answers to these questions reflect both Cuban's nuanced understanding not only of digital technologies and their uses, but of the complex interrelations of policy and practice, and of the many, often unintended, consequences of reforms and initiatives in the education world. Similarly, his answers reflect his subtle understanding of change and continuity in education practice, and of the varying ways in which different actors in the education world--policy makers, school leaders, teachers, and others--understand, and sometimes misinterpret, those changes. -- Provided by publisher.
