Pls Comment: Defining Authentication and Authenticity
Authentication in computing/Internet: “…the process by which a computer, computer program, or another user attempts to confirm that the computer, computer program, or user from whom the second party has received some communication is, or is not, the claimed first party. - Wikipedia, 2/10/06
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authentication
Authenticity in education: “Being authentic means that what you see is what you get. What I believe, what I say, and what I do are consistent. Of course creating that consistency is a lifelong challenge as we encounter new experiences, new persons and new information.” – Chickering, p. 8, in Encouraging Authenticity & Spirituality in Higher Education, Arthur W. Chickering, Jon C. Dalton, Liesa Stamm, 2005, Jossey-Bass

Pls Comment: Inquiry, Evidence, Argument
Inquiry, Evidence, Argument: “The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”
[What is the original source of this line?]
Are different methods of inquiry, different methods of argument, and different definitions of evidence appropriate in different realms? On campus vs. off campus? In different academic disciplines?
What factors (institutional priorities, personal beliefs, political power...) might make some kinds of evidence irrelevant? Might influence the impact of evidence?
To what extent can or should a faculty member control the kinds of argument permitted in a classroom discussion? In an online discussion?

Pls Comment: Individual vs. Institutional Rights and Responsibilities
In determining, encouraging, or enforcing new standards of appropriate behavior, what are important differences between individual rights and responsibilities vs. institutional rights and responsibilities?
How, if at all, does “in loco parentis” apply to what a student who lives in a campus dorm writes in a blog that resides on a commercial server? The college or university probably has no direct control of the blog at all, but might have control of the student’s access to the Internet.

Pls Comment: New Professional/Personal/Political Boundaries
What, then, _are_ the ideal “boundaries” that should exist between “the professional,” “the personal” and “the political”?
To what extent should faculty members’ outside-the-classroom, off-campus experience and beliefs in “relevant” areas be acknowledged or discussed with students? How/where?

Pls Comment: New Definitions of Appropriate Behavior
To what extent must we all simply accept emerging new patterns of speech and behavior on the Internet?
To what extent can and should anyone guide or control these patterns?
Is “harassment” online different from “harassment” on campus or elsewhere?

Pls Comment: New Technologies, New Boundaries, New Connections
What are the new challenges and opportunities provided by the rapidly emerging computer technology options for "blogging,” “podcasting,” and other new forms of telecommunications, information exchange, and social networking?
Where are the lines between personal blogging, political blogging, and course-related blogging?
