What’s This All About?
Welcome to Academhack.org. I started this site as tech tools for academics.That is, outlining the more concrete ways technology and computers can be used to improve both teaching (how to get beyond the use of Power Point) and scholarship (did you know there are more effective, cheaper, alternatives to MS Word-how does a $30 word processor designed by academics sound?). But there are now better sites for this, see Profhacker. So while I still post some tech tips and thought I now use this blog more to talk about the intersection of the digital and academia, or more broadly my thoughts on the way the digital is transforming knowledge creation and dissemination. (Notice most of my posts lately have been filed under “rant.”)
