Tenure and Technology: New Values, New Guidelines
Coordinated by Seth Katz, Janice Walker, and Janet Cross
In the hypertexts that make up this CoverWeb, each author examines some of the possibilites for enacting change in the ways work with technology is evaluated. The hypertexts look at the issues of where, when and how that change can come about; and they look at what we know about changes that have already occurred in how online
academic work is valued and evaluated.
