News: Academic Publishing and Zombies - Inside Higher Ed - 1 views

  • Fitzpatrick argues that journals should throw the door open to all comers, then deputize their readers to usher sound articles to a pedestal and banish bad ones to the margins. Scholarly journals would serve their constituencies better “by allowing everything through the gate, and by designing a post-publication peer review process that focuses on how a scholarly text should be received,” she writes, “rather than whether it should be out there in the first place.”

  • we don’t have a good understanding of the ‘binding force’ that connects people while they are learning and building knowledge.
    • tatiluna
       
      Why would this "binding force" be that different from what binds people together in different kinds of relationships outside of collective learning?  Everyone has their own personal reasons for learning from and sharing with the collective, and these reasons are pretty similar to the reasons people learn and share in "real world" or more traditional situations.
  • Becoming competent could be viewed as the ability to perceive the links between these loosely related knowledge fragments
    • tatiluna
       
      The way one navigates the knowledge on the internet expertly could be a metaphor for or, perhaps, a reflection of, how the brain creates a network of knowledge  to become an expert in any environment or domain.

  • Perhaps more importantly, if learning is to become more self-regulated, rather than teacher-regulated, what sorts of mindsets do learners require to take control and self regulate their own learning (Zimmermann & Schunk, 2001).

Public Engagement as Collateral Damage : The Digital Scholar: How Technology Is Transfo... - 1 views

  • ‘Public engagement’ involves specialists in higher education listening to, developing their understanding of, and interacting with non-specialists. The ‘public’ includes individuals and groups who do not currently have a formal relationship with an HEI through teaching, research or knowledge transfer.
    • Rob Parsons
       
      As exemplified by the currently difficult area of "public understanding of science", which is a very good example of where academics need to be engaging - not just science academics, but e.g. social science academics.

      While Amazon's long tail is visible, its dimensions ahve been subject to amendment: http://radar.oreilly.com/2005/08/amazons-long-tail-not-so-long.html Looks as if pareto may hold. I'm not aware of more up to date research.
  • This can be realised through specific projects, such as the OER projects many universities are initiating. However, long-tail models only work when there is sufficient content to occupy the tail. In order to achieve this scale of content in a sustainable manner, the outputs listed above need to become a frictionless by-product of the standard practice, rather than the outcomes of isolated projects.
    • Rob Parsons
       
      How does this work with ?increasing? marketisation of universities? Will the long tail contract?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • In this chapter I have argued that we can view higher education as a long-tail content production environment. Much of what we currently aim to achieve through specific public engagement projects can be realised by producing digital artefacts as a by-product of typical scholarly activity. My intention is not to suggest that this is the only means of performing public engagement; for example, engaging with local schools works well by providing face-to-face contact with inspiring figures. As with other scholarly functions, some will remain, but the digital alternative not only allows for new ways of realising the same goals but also opens up new possibilities.
    • Rob Parsons
       
      I'm in two minds. I like what Martin says about public engagement as a by product as well as PE as a deliberate activity. But I don't think the long tail metaphor fits it.
