2008 Digital Media and Learning Competition is now open, focus participatory learning

[HASTAC]

The 2008 Digital Media and Learning Competition is now open.
The theme for this year's Competition is participatory learning,
which includes the many ways that learners (of any age) use
new technologies to participate in virtual communities where they
share ideas, comment upon one another's projects, and plan, design,
advance, implement, or simply discuss their goals and ideas together.

This year we are piloting limited international eligibility for our
Innovation Award. We are also very excited to introduce the Young
Innovator award. This award is targeted to applicants aged 18 to 25
and encourages them to think boldly about "what comes next" in
participatory learning and to contribute to making it happen.
