How do digital practices influence disciplinary practice?

Digital practices allow for more interdisciplinary connections.

- brings experts closer to novices (video interviews, skype lectures)

- It can give a false sense of community or engagement (ex. instructors will do a clicker question activity and feel as though they have successfully created an interactive experience)

- render 3D models, aritifical intelligence used to contribute to experiment predictions

Thoughts from third group:

  • Limitations of digital access can also limit disciplines.
  • Can help engagement, but hinder deep engagement. (We really agree with the comment about false sense of community)
  • No tone in text/reception can be difficult in digital environment.
  • Troubleshooting (Stack Exchange for example) can be streamlined, and experts can be more accessible (bi-directionally!)
  • Access to more "voices" both literal and virtual
  • (Sometimes) improved accessibility, especially in that we can have increased work from home
