Academic credibility online
- 1. DEPARTMENT FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY-ASSISTED LIFELONG LEARNING Academic credibility online: what does it look like and what does it have to do with learning? David White @daveowhite Lawrie Phipps @Lawrie
- 3. ‘I just don’t – I really don’t understand why Wikipedia is so taboo because – I mean, I do understand that anyone can add information on there but then again anyone can make a website, anyone can make a journal, it doesn’t make it like an educational source.’ USU7
- 4. ‘…also there’s so many people that can edit and modify Wikipedia pages so you can have a less biased and more standardized information.’ USU14
- 5. Ephemeral
- 8. Validation
- 12. ‘While not originally perceived as such, credibility is now seen as a relative attribute dependant on perspective, and not an attribute inherent to a source, person or information object.’ Berkman Center for Internet and Society Youth and Digital Media: From Credibility to Information Quality
- 18. ‘I always stick with the first thing that comes up on Google because I think that’s the most popular site which means that’s the most correct.’ USS1
- 19. ‘Okay it’s just a text, it’s fine. I think it’s because maybe people of older generations are used to using books more. And so like my parents will always go, “Well look it up in a book, go to the library.” And I’ll go, “Well there’s the internet just there.”’ UKU5

- 36. What it means for individuals Visitor vs Resident
- 38. [Post-digital] Institutional responses? Individuals are chaotic, this can lead to new knowledge, learning and outcomes. Academic practice is now played out on an increasingly digital canvas, recognise when individuals are becoming institutions, support them.
- 42. ‘Teachers don’t just like it because it’s not the most reliable source since anyone can post something on there even though the site is monitored, it’s because it’s too easy.’ USU3
- 43. ‘The problem with Wikipedia is it’s too easy. You can go to Wikipedia, you can get an answer, you don’t actually learn anything, you just get an answer.’ Tutor via USU6
- 44. “Think Less – Find More”
- 45. ‘I must value not answers but instead questions that represent the continued renewal of the search. I must value uncertainty and admit complexity in the study of all things’ Harouni, 2009

- Lawrie’s bit. So from what Dave’s been articulating, we can look at how behaviours can be examined in the context of practice with digital (although it might also be said that you can use the framework for other elements of your life). The web is littered with advice for graduates, and what they should be doing and learning in addition to their course. And at Bath for example you will see elements of these in the idea of graduateness. And the skills that graduates have. Flipping the idea of the graduate attributes , this slide is derived from a post on mashable.com and suggests that there are things outside of your course that you can learn and exploit at University – flip slide.
- So all of these are skills that if you, as an undergraduate, wanted to pick up and learn you could probably get help with at some level on campus. And the post is telling us that they are must have for graduates who want to succeed in their post university career. The 10 th one is interesting. Flip slide
- The 10 th skill leapt of the webpage at me – Brand yourself. And they mean right now. Branding starts before you graduate (maybe before you get to Uni, debate for another day). The issue of branding is something we need to think about, across sectors, public and private, we see personal branding. But this is different to “cult of the celebrity”, I’ll come back to that. This idea of selling yourself as an individual is becoming prevalent. My own background is quite the reverse, and so in some ways this is alien. Working in the sector, in the LTSN and setting up TechDis my focus was on building a strong brand of the service and focusing on that, mainly because we were constrained with the routes to promotion and exposure. (anecdote about publishing 200 words in the times higher). Flip slide
- SO everyone here is familiar with the changes that have been wrought by social media. How many people have their own blog? How many people have their own office? Social media is being used by a large cohort of academics and academic related staff. Some of you may even be regular readers of what they publish. Characterised: identified and recognised through the online promotion and increased visibility of their work; and importantly interaction and collaboration with others. This is not about cult of the celebrity, not posting blogs and tweeting just to get profile, but having conversations to create understanding.
- Talk about decisions – and given the pervasiveness of the technology what are you (as an individual) going to be as an institution. The tensions between personal and professional, and how people see you interacting. Lawrie v Dave Personal vs Professional Private vs Public Baggage
- Everyone may be familiar with this phrase. If Einstein was at Bath, would his comms team require this statement on his Twitter account. This is an often cited phrase designed as a response to risk averse “social media policies”, which have the effect of further distancing the individual and individual thought from host institutions. The truth is, that if Einstein was a new member of staff, with no publishing record they probably would want to distance themselves.
- Post-digital institutions may be characterised by their recognition that technology can be a vehicle to express motivation and practice. Understanding that individuals are chaotic, responding to small changes that may drive them in different directions and lead to new knowledge, learning and outcomes. Rather than setting strategic directions and objectives for technology practice (in either research or teaching) it is important to recognise that the practice is linked to behaviour, and that practices become the foci for investment of resource and energy. Where academic practice is now played out on an increasingly digital canvas, organisations need to recognise when individuals are becoming institutions and work to support them, providing an environment that allows them to thrive. Strategic plans, objectives and directions will only succeed if they are flexible enough to accommodate the emerging technology and practices that are being exploited by these individuals.
- Where did Einstein go to University? (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich) Which one did he retire from? Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton Institutions need to adapt to new realities, and where they can embrace them and support their staff through them.
