The Nordic Digital Culture Network launches its activities in Fall 2009, with a series of faculty exchanges between partner institutions. Erasmus-funded faculty exchanges will take place in the Fall and Spring semesters of 2009-2010 between the University of Bergen, Blekinge Institute of Technology, the University of Jyväskylä, and the IT University of Copenhagen. "This is a key aspect of the Nordic digital culture network we have been planning for the past year," said network coordinator Scott Rettberg of the University of Bergen. "We are harnessing the specific expertise of faculty from the across the network in individual teaching modules of courses at all of the network institutions. Additionally, we are learning from each other as we discuss different curricula and approaches within the emerging field of digital culture. Students at all of the partner institutions will benefit from the exchange of ideas and best practices the network will facilitate." Faculty exchanges will be an ongoing feature of the digital culture network. Network participants are also developing plans to facilitate student exchanges, to share resources and collaborate on bringing in international lecturers, to share subject-specific teaching methods and strategies in pedagogical workshops and to create joint courses in coming years.
