12. Scholars are knowledge producers. Traditionally,
that knowledge has appeared in bound volumes,
printed by for-profit, third party publishers, for a
very narrow audience of other academics with
access to those volumes. Within this system of
knowledge production, peer-review was a closed,
and often very slow, process. The method for
measuring the influence of scholars through
“impact factor” (i.e., by counting the number of
times their articles are cited by other articles) has
hardly changed since it was created in the mid-20th
century.
That is changing now.

46. Digital literacy
• “the ability to
participate in a range of
critical and creative
practices that involve
understanding, sharing
and creating meaning
with different kinds of
technology and media.”
From Futurelab: Digital literacy across the curriculum
http://www.futurelab.org.uk/resources/documents/handbooks/
digital_literacy.pdf
47. JISC: Digital literacies for HE/FE
• ICT literacy
• “Digital literacy
• Information literacy
defines those • Visual & multimedia
capabilities which fit literacy
an individual for • Communication and
living, learning and collaboration
working in a digital • Learning skills
society” • Life-planning
• Digital scholarship
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/developingdigitalliteracies
48. Digital scholarship
• the ability to participate in emerging academic, professional
and research practices that depend on digital systems, for
example:
• use of digital content (including digitised collections of
primary and secondary material as well as open content) in
teaching, learning and research
• use of virtual learning and research environments
• use of emergent technologies in research contexts
• open publication
• the awareness of issues around content discovery, authority,
reliability, provenance, licence restrictions,
adaption/repurposing and assessment of sources
49. • Thinking about your
particular discipline or
role, in what ways do
you think digital
communication can
help or hinder you in
developing scholarly
activity?
50. • How could the
development of digital
scholarly approaches
have an impact on
other areas of work (eg
teaching, student
support, administration,
management)?
51. • What new skills do you
think are needed by the
digitally literate
researcher?
