Digital scholarship

[6] It is also considered a research agenda concerned with the impact of Internet and digital technologies that are transforming scholarly practices.

[7] In the 2010s, research took mainly two approaches to the subject: The impact of digital infrastructures, in particular the internet, on scholarship, where Christine L. Borgman is reference researcher[8] and the role of the academic library has been discussed in particular,[9][10] and the impact of digital scholarship on the institutions and organization of academia.

Key areas of academia that digital media is used on are to illustrate concepts, model displays and reinforce 21st century skills.

This makes it easier to work together on complex  exploration questions that might be  delicate to attack within traditional academic structures.

also, digital education’s global reach allows for a different range of voices and perspectives to contribute to academic  conversations.

The explosion in availability and creation of scholarly works has led many universities to adjust their policies on how they will manage scholarship in the future.

These universities feel pressured to take action because digital technologies have led to the easy reproduction and commodification of these creations.

[23] In the past any printed work done by professors was considered their intellectual property, but now the question stands as to who owns these different forms of multimedia.

Not only are universities using digital scholarship to make money and stay ahead, but they also have interests in protecting their brand.

[23] Change over the ability of professors to bring digital scholarship with them is expected as universities have begun to take notice and assert copyrights.

This case will set a precedent for future decisions with online classes, lecture notes, and outlines.
