we are the campus.
We are also the church. We often confuse the people who with the place where. I appreciate that the idea of a campus has been expanded to include any location, physical or virtual, where learning takes place.

Remixing digital content
This is one of those complex issues. To what extent does something need to be remixed before authorship needs to be redefined. I know this is something that Bible translators often have to deal with. I have seen several translations where the verse is almost identical; maybe word order or a single term has been altered; is that enough to claim that this is actually a new translation? There are several educators I follow on Twitter, and several of them have led conversations around the extent to which their content is still their content if another educator has used that content to create a poster; to whom does that poster belong: the one who designed the artwork or the one who created the content that is now shown off by the artwork.

I have had many students who have claimed expertise with digital media only to discover that they know their five or six platforms well, but not really anything beyond them. Feeling comfortable with digital media often comes down to interest and time spent exploring. Those who are younger (whatever that means) may have more time to explore but disciplined study generally creates a much greater understanding of the media.
