Join moderator Kate Wittenberg, PI on the
National Science Digital Library Core Integration Project and director
of EPIC, the Electronic Publishing Initiative at Columbia, as she
moderates a panel discussion based on her article published in the
Chronicle of Higher Education entitled "Beyond Google: What's Next for
Higher Education?" Panelists will explore how we might reimagine digital
spaces for scholarship given that most ten to twenty-somethings have
jumped the fences of traditional learning and are engaged in creating
personalized online environments that may consist of simultaneous
collaborative game-playing, downloading music and videos, monitoring
people and places on GPS-equipped phones with ring tones that adults
can't hear, looking stuff up, polishing MySpace sites, chatting,
shopping, and doing homework.

Continuing our efforts in using web metrics to
assess NSDLs impact, we turn our attention to their role under
"Leveraging Project and Community Accomplishments." To this end, we have
been investigating a variety of metrics that can be compiled for
different projects, either through a common logging and reporting
service (in this case Omnitures SiteCatalyst) or through customized
metrics -- such as those obtained through correlations between what we
know from user registration and demographic information from a variety
of sources (e.g., the U.S. Census, Dept. of Education, etc.). In this
session, we will offer the results of work done to date in order to help
other projects create customized metrics that measure their impact on
the K-12 community; to help them integrate that data collection into
SiteCatalyst, and to share experiences inorder to "keep the ball
rolling". In addition we intend to solicit suggestions and
recommendations from session participants for additional metrics to
consider adopting, sources of information that can provide better
connections between logged project web statistics and demographic
information, and other project accomplishments we might incorporate into
future analysis and research.
