I was surprised in January's thread about why universities stink that no one mentioned their narrow definitions of achievement. If you're hoping to expand the focus of academics beyond their navels--or just to credit the ink spilled on this email
list toward your next tenure review--you might want to check out some resources Still Water has contributed to this debate:
"New Criteria for New Media"
http://newmedia.umaine.edu/interarchive/new_criteria_for_new_media@m.html
A white paper on how to expand promotion & tenure guidelines to include electronic discourse and real-world impact.
"Standards of Recognition"
http://cordova.asap.um.maine.edu/wiki/index.php/Standards_of_Recognition
An expanded version of the white paper in wiki form. You are encouraged to contribute (some folks like Trebor already have).
Cheers,
jon
