- How relevant are these opportunities to you?
- Good is not enough We need to move beyond motherhood and apple pie (to quote Brian Kelly) I want the proponants of good to ask your help and your advice As the web managers, you’re the key to making open work for us I’m going to tell you why
- Marketing, impact, and return on investment are often treated as dirty words. There is one world on the left Another on the right And never the twain shall meet
- Lets understand the resistance Reasons for resisting the new agenda metrics are about comparisons and benchmarking, but that there is nothing suitable to compare the particular activity to that which can be measured is not always what should be measured: counting access instead of use, for example if the biggest impacts are far downstream or far in the future, we risk missing them in the race to evidence immediate impacts caring about metrics mean only high levels of use will justify activity: metrics don’t respect the long tail, and academia is all about the long tail formalising social media institutionalises / depersonalises it and therefore misses the point whilst personally rewarding, social media might not actually be a very good use of our time, and increased scrutiny on social media might challenge our autonomy concepts around metrics and impact come from business: they fundamentally don’t belong in education
- So we need to proceed with caution But there are real challenges here to making good things happen, there are issues and risks that need to be managed. If we want to ensure that staff and students make the most of their time, institutional services need to weigh up the best ways to support and channel their effort. We need to be asking what are we measuring? also spread of effort between broadcasting and narrowcasting effort needed to listen and respond effort to manage multi-channel multi-platform staff skills and appetite managing expectations of stakeholders risk management (the public academic can be amplified and dangerous!) So with that in mind, lets talk about some of those dirty words
- I’m going to talk a bit about impact, marketing and metrics Then I will talk about how we might map those concepts into social media, open access and open educational resources. Some general points about costs, benefits etc direct and indirect particular staff costs They change during change e.G shifting effort from centralised comms to more devolved group-level comms now and later benefits to doing the activity benefits immediate upon completing the activity benefits delayed in time actual and potential e.G building a university's reputation is great, but how can you prove it has increased income? quant & qualitative not just numbers as you'll see, qualitative is important too, especially for listening to usage drivers & justifications not just about control but also about making the argument for change its rarely a simple equation
- Impact is a hot potato in Digital content Research Learning & Teaching 3 rd Stream / “BCE” I’ll now signpost where some of these issues are being surfaced
- Models of identifying and measuring the value of digital content are emerging, but it’s a complex issue.
- Found out very useful things about who is using content where eg China . Also included specific user feedback - eg iTunesU as an alternative to Countdown on daytime tv. On average it takes 1,000 hits before they got a comment . Very time consuming to collect . But valuable data.
- The REF metrics now include impact and reach: what does that mean for the open and social web agendas? It could be a major opportunity.
- Cameron Neylon (at a RC) et al ran a workshop with the intention to develop better ways to measure research impact also see altmetrics : this approach goes headfirst into the impact and metrics debate
- This includes case studies of the impact of web2.0 / social media tools on the learning experience
- Subtle shift from the learning experience towards student satisfaction now?
- This report did listen to usage and found it useful – it tells the story of how a resource on screenwriting went viral
- Not just about research or teaching and learning The role of universities in communities and the economy is also being explored, along with the impact models to measure them. Forthcoming paper from DMU explores how a social media city-based project has mapped its outcomes to the Research Impact model.
- We’ve all been doing marketing. Social media IS marketing.
- Social media IS often public and open.
- Market research, market intelligence, broadcasting, narrowcasting can all help us do these things better. Social media IS marketing, even if we prefer to call it outreach or engagement Viewed through this lens, open social scholarship is about personal branding, its about marketing, it is about reaching new audiences and publics. Its not a different world from marketing.
- Bingo!
- This is what we fear …
- ... but reality is more complicated We need to demystify metrics and be less afraid of them.
- In my personal opinion, the ostrich approach is not an option
- Marketing, impact, and return on investment are often treated as dirty words. There is one world on the left Another on the right And never the twain shall meet
- These are areas where web professionals and changing HE practices collide, and this could be really fertile ground. I personally think these are growth areas. You can link content against key uses cases You can market content, courses and expertise You can help academics with their profiles You can provide business intelligence You can collect user feedback You can identify reasonable expectations for content usage and trends You can even start to provide data to make predictions about recruitment and retention
- As institutional web managers, you can help bridge the values and the market
- As institutional web managers, you can help bridge the values and the market Link the content Crunch the numbers Write the reports Use your professional knowledge of SEO, analytics, user journeys etc Prove the value of the web team to the institution Support the good stuff Enhance your career!
