Introducing the CUNY Academic Commons!

Locked appliances vs generative platforms – an on-going issue that we are all familiar with, especially with well-known Apple vs Android ‘war’.  In this week’s post I would rather focus on the generative ones as I believe they are the future of our Convergence Culture (unless we want to end up as victims of permission-culture). I did a little research an came across the CUNY Academic Commons. It is an emerging platform opened and closed at the same time. What do I mean by that? If you want to find out listen to my SoundCloud podcast! Enjoy!
