Welcome to the Information Habitat.  The Information Habitat is a network for scholars, researchers, and students to collaborate and share their work. Digital technologies are revolutionizing the way in which we not only work, but how we play and socialize with each other. In the digital world, the difference between researching, playing, socializing, and teaching, which may be better termed learning, is narrowing and becoming much less distinct.  The variety of uses to which we put digital technologies to acquire knowledge is staggering: serious games, social networks, virtual environments, digital libraries and archives, and multi-modal productions, to name but a few, are changing the face of how we learn.  

Much of what we learn today is disseminated in environments other than formal academic spaces, through digitally enabled interactions with each other and with digital media.  Unfortunately, some find it uncomfortable to mix social environments with work environments, and often rightly so.  This is where the Information habitat steps in.  It offers conventional tools of social networks but provides and alternative space for individuals, groups, and classes to share and collaborate, research and learn.  Enter the Information habitat and give it a try.  Go to "Create an Account."
