#HEdigID Chat No. 2: Openness in Higher Ed – techKNOWtools

ab1630's bookmarks 2018-03-07

Summary:

"...What does it mean to be “open” as a professional in higher education? There is an increasing expectation to share and publicize our research, practice, and work beyond the bubble of academe. “The result: We are all of us dipping our toes into the role of the public intellectual. And there are dangers lurking in those virtual waters — dangers that we all need to keep in mind when we respond to our Facebook friends and Twitter followers.” Perhaps, I have let some of the plot lines of Black Mirror creep into my thoughts on being open and public in academia. I cannot deny that openness has offered me support and introduced me to a thoughtful community I value both personally and professionally. As you can see, I’m still working this one out. So, why not have a bit of a chat about this very topic? Here are a few questions we might discuss further during the Friday (March 9th) all-day #HEdigID Twitter chat:

What does it mean to be a public, open intellectual online today? How are you “open” with your work as a public intellectual? i.e. how do you share knowledge, teaching and learning practices, and connect with the community online? How are you dealing with managing openness and public sharing online? What are the benefits and risks of being open in higher ed? How will social networks shape tenure, promotion, and career advancement? What issues do academics and practitioners face, when being active in social media spaces? What challenges will emerge with the use of transmedia for research, teaching, service, and learning in higher ed? Will open scholarship or open practice impact and shift how we view career progression? What other influences should be considered for impact and contribution if we share digitally? How does being open influence graduate preparation (masters, doctoral, etc.) in your field? How does being influence how we research, advise, teach, support, etc. in higher ed? Should it? What questions or assumptions do you have about openness, in terms of your own digital identity?

Join us on Friday, March 9, 2018 to discuss these questions and more using the following hashtag on Twitter: #HEdigID I will start posting prompts and questions for this Twitter chat at 3 pm CDT on Thursday, March 8 and roll out questions/prompts until 3 pm CDT on March 9, 2018. This SLOW style Twitter chat is designed to allow more higher ed colleagues and friends to join in the conversation to account for different geographic regions, multiple time zones, busy schedules, and more!  Additionally, if you are not active on Twitter or you do not want to post responses to this topic publicly, I have created another way for you to join and contribute to the #HEdigID conversation — an OPEN Google Doc: http://bit.ly/hedigid2Finally, I’m always keen for suggestions. What QUESTIONS/PROMPTS would you like to ask during this next chat? Please share in the Google doc above or comments below. Tweet you all soon!"
