YouTube University gets failing grade from prof, students - 0 views

  • diluted her role as an expert, reducing her to just another figure with limited video skills. That also limited her ability to act as an authority figure, one that plays an essential role in keeping the discussion from degenerating into chaos.
  • while the students were faced with having their classroom ideas judged not simply by their peers, but by a far wider audience.

    fantastic experiment not sure if the title of the article is justified in the text. Biggest complaint seems to be loss of control and authority. hmmm
    "Students having their classroom ideas judged not simply by their peers but by a far wider audience" and that is a bad thing because...?

digital digs: Building Scholarly Networks - 0 views

  • We might like to think that information-sharing is intrinsic to academic work, especially academic work that is publicly funded. However we also place many restrictions on publishing, like peer review, and I imagine there are still academics who try to keep their work secret until it is ready for any number of semi-paranoid reasons. I'm not going to say we shouldn't do these things, but we need to recognize that the discipline works by controlling the production and distribution of disciplinary knowledge.

    See Skirky Coasean floor- the cost of dissemintation of academic research has dropped to near zero. When institutions insist on exhorbitant journal access fees they doom themselves to irrelevance. Attention economy needs eyeballs and the eyeballs glaze over at the idea of paying $180.00 for a PDF report on online education in Canada, a publicly funded research project.(295 for the hard copy)

    Digital immigrants might not take easy access quite so much for granted. If I am doing research and have to actually make a trip to the library, jump on my bike and go across town. I consider it a time drain. Although when I was living a rural community with no academic library, I longed for the easy access of just going across town. Now that there is Google Scholar and Google books I wonder why I have to log in to my institutions web site, and go through 6 different hoops to get to the data base and article of interest. It is getting better all the time though. My library is setting up Google Scholar to get direct access to some databases.
