Dr Steven Warburton presented on design challenges for future learning environments that leverage social software. He discussed transforming bibliographic references and course content into social objects that can be commented on, tagged, and discovered through tools like Bibsonomy. Warburton also examined scaling learning through a distributed toolset that integrates personal tools and content across emerging technologies. Key challenges addressed leveraging models of virtual learning environments versus personal learning environments and understanding changing learner and educator roles and blurring formal and informal learning spaces with tools like educational blogging.
Researching Students’ Information Choices (RSIC): Determining Identity and Ju...Lynn Connaway
Connaway, Lynn Silipigni. 2020. “Researching Students’ Information Choices (RSIC): Determining Identity and Judging Credibility in Digital Spaces.” Presented at VALA, February 11, 2020, Melbourne, Australia.
Slides for Shira Atkinson and Kindra Becker-Redd's presentation at the Around the World Conference (4 May 2017).
Abstract:
Fake news presents real problems. While misinformation has always existed, the internet and social media have allowed it to proliferate and wield unprecedented influence on public opinion and discourse. In the United States, fake news helped to determine the 2016 presidential election and it continues to inform national and state policies in harmful, counterproductive ways. Information professionals, and particularly librarians, are seizing this moment to demonstrate the power of their expertise by formulating new tools that can help the public navigate the so-called ‘post-truth world’. These tools capitalize on librarians’ command of information literacy and promote a skills-based approach that is not only essential to the foundations of research but vital for the very well-being of democracy. The presenters will discuss the different tools that librarians and other information professionals are creating such as research guides, videos, infographics, apps, and other types of media; evaluate the challenges and limitations of existing tools and approaches; and consider future implications and actions for librarians.
Open access is not enough, information skills are also neededJesus Lau
The document discusses the importance of open access information and information skills. It begins by providing examples of open access repositories in Latin America. It then explains that while open access is valuable, information skills are also needed to make full use of open access resources. These include skills to access, analyze, apply and evaluate information. The document concludes by proposing a syllabus rubric to promote the development of information skills in higher education, which will allow students to better utilize open access information for learning and research.
The document discusses the budget, recurring costs, and letters to schools, parents, and donors of a communication studies program. It provides an overview of the 4-year course of study including general education requirements, introductory communication courses, applying communication theory, and concentrations. It outlines the contact information and website for the school and promotes an upcoming event at local high schools to recruit potential students.

Global online learning is steadily increasing worldwide. MOOCs initially took the world by storm but have since opened up opportunities for massive innovation in education. While MOOCs are initially open in terms of free enrollment, most course content is not openly licensed. Governments are implementing strategies to promote digital learning and the application of information technologies. Online and campus-based learning are converging into blended models. Technological advances will continue to remove barriers to access while new understandings of learning and the brain will shape new pedagogical approaches. We are still in the early stages of these developments.
1. The document outlines a research project at York St John University that aims to explore understandings of information literacy across different academic subjects and establish if emerging forms of information literacy are present.
2. The research objectives are to examine how academics experience and evaluate information literacy in their teaching and identify common ground already in curriculums.
3. The research also looks to implement and evaluate a platform for information literacy dialogue among staff to promote collaborative provision and improve practice.
DisCo 2013: Danyliuk and Paschenko - Virtual Mobility of University Teaching...8th DisCo conference 2013
Globalization through the mediation of information and communication technologies influences greatly higher education (appearing transnational education, great amount of alternative providers of higher education and runaway staff mobility in virtual space). Virtual mobility attracts attention of politicians and experts in the field of education (“The Bologna Process and the European Higher Education Area” – Salamanca Convention, 2001, includes an idea of joint European approach to virtual mobility and transnational education; “Mobility for Better Learning” – Mobility strategy 2020 for the European Higher Education Area, 2011) and scientists (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine project “International Education on the Basis of Flexible Centers of Distance Technologies and Computer-Tele-Communicational Networks”). Problem of mobility is one of the most disputable among higher education researchers in Europe. Development of virtual academic mobility transforms modern education into a social institution which could provide different educational services to humans for their lifelong learning. Modern situation demands attention to distance education development through creation of specialized informationaleducational courses and areas of e-learning, development of e-libraries and databases, support of “network lecturers” and e-courses developers. It should stimulate university staff media-educational training they could project educational environment using modern information technologies. Our task was to investigate Ukrainian academicians’ experience and e-competences necessary for participation in virtual mobility processes (sample – 710). The instruments of measurement and diagnostics were a specially constructed questionnaire and a method of self-evaluation of ecompetences necessary for effective participation in virtual academic mobility.
The proliferation of communication technologies is profoundly changing the nature of academic practice. In this presentation I describe the impact of blogging and social networking tools on the practice and dissemination of academic research across disciplinary boundaries. I suggest that the traditional notion of the university is giving way to communities of scholars who are not tied to particular institutions, and less dependent on traditional forms of dissemination and publication. The resulting ‘democratisation’ of academia is portrayed in terms of a tension between democracy and expert knowledge mediated by technology.
One prominent contemporary challenge for technologists is to understand the ongoing impact of technological change on academic communities. At The Open University, the Digital Scholarship research team is mapping the use of Twitter in order to better understand user engagement with these technologies. I will present headline findings from this research and discuss the implications for scholarly practice at the OU.

How will education libraries best serve their communities in 2015?
Why do we need to organise information more effectively? How do we incorporate the evolving semantic web environments? In a world of API and big data, libraries (and in particular school libraries) are faced with a significant ‘conceptual’ challenge. The new RDA cataloguing standard will substantively influence and then change information organization, focusing on users, access and interoperability. Search interfaces will be the key. We’re not dealing with records anymore. We are working with interrelated nodes of data. Are you prepared?
The document discusses challenges and opportunities of digital scholarship in the digital age. It provides an overview of the evolving academic research cycle and various digital tools that can be used at different stages of research, including social networking, bookmarking, blogging, collaboration tools, and project management tools. It also discusses the concepts of digital literacy and digital scholarship, which involve the ability to participate in emerging academic practices that depend on digital systems and technologies. The document outlines three workshop topics for discussion around how digital communication can help or hinder scholarly activity, how digital approaches can impact other areas like teaching and administration, and new skills needed by digitally literate researchers.
Helen Chen: Electronic Portfolios and Student Success: A Framework for Effec...WASC Senior
This document discusses electronic portfolios and their effective implementation to promote student success. It provides an overview of assessment methods that can be used with eportfolios, including performances, common assignments, and classroom assessment techniques. The document outlines an eportfolio implementation framework that involves defining learning outcomes, understanding learners, designing learning activities, assessing student learning, using eportfolio tools, and evaluating the impact. It also discusses identifying stakeholders and mapping learning objectives across different levels. The document promotes using eportfolios to help students integrate and synthesize their learning.
Tom Caswell presented on open educational resources (OER) and their potential to increase access to higher education while lowering costs. He discussed the "iron triangle" of higher education where improving one factor like access negatively impacts quality or cost. However, OER which are openly licensed educational materials that can be freely used and adapted, may help break this constraint. By openly licensing educational content created with public funds, OER allow for non-rivalrous distribution at nearly zero cost, benefiting both students and institutions. The Washington State Board has launched an Open Course Library of OER for high-enrollment courses to reduce costs and improve student outcomes.

Beyond the Academy: engagement, education, and exchange
This presentation introduces you to the practice and practicalities of public engagement. It draws on experience to explore means and methods of widening access to the humanities, to foster dialogue, participation, and new knowledge.
The document describes the SEAL (Second Environment: Advanced Learning) project. It discusses the aims of the project which are to surface learners' voices about desired learning futures through immersive events in Second Life, build communities of learners and practitioners to "free up" existing mindsets, and construct possible, probable and preferred models of learning to ensure changes made in education are beneficial for students. It outlines the research approach, methodology of cognitive mapping and analysis, and planned outputs including models of possible and preferred futures for learning and frameworks for practice in Second Life.
Enabling Flexible Distributed Learning (FDL) at Oxford Brookes UniversityGeorge Roberts
The document discusses enabling flexible distributed learning at Oxford Brookes University. It defines flexibility as educational provision delivered through means that do not require students to attend particular classes or events at particular times and locations. The university aims to provide blended learning opportunities using a variety of technologies to increase flexibility while maintaining high levels of support and developing independent learners. Quality is ensured through frameworks and standards while allowing for different pedagogical approaches.
Getting to Gobsmacked: Faculty, Students & Open AccessStephDK
For the past 7 years, The Ames Library has been working with various departments to provide green archiving of faculty work and to publish undergraduate research journals. Our scholarly communication efforts have evolved from focusing on the products of scholarship to the process of scholarship, incorporating information literacy and outreach. For ‘open’ to flourish in its many forms, librarians, as individuals and as a profession, must contribute our skills and expertise to the ongoing debates and initiatives in our field and within higher education.

This was presented on the introductory workshop strand of the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School 2016. It introduces the practice and practicalities of public engagement, drawing on personal experience to explore means and methods of widening access to the humanities, to foster dialogue and participation.
The document discusses designing a connected future for school libraries. It proposes taking a networked learning approach framed around principles of equity, participation and social connection. This involves cultivating connections between people, information and ideas. The library should act as a hub where passion-driven learning occurs through participation, interconnection, challenge and creation. A connected future is outlined as one that values, promotes and creates an environment of connectivity by connecting students, teachers and information.

Finally, do not prepare for issues outside your control that could impact your delivery.
Publish and Perish? How to Spot a Predatory PublisherClaire Sewell
So-called predatory publishers regularly approach researchers via email to solicit manuscripts and conference papers. With the emphasis on publishing as a measure of academic success still strong it can be easy to give in to temptation and flattery but this can do more harm than good to a future career. looks at whether these publishers are a problem, how to spot a potential problem publisher or conference and the best advice to offer researchers if they are approached.

Mirror, Mirror: the Growth of Mirror JournalsClaire Sewell
Solving the problem of Open Access or causing more trouble?
Open Access can be hard to understand at the best of times but one term that causes particular confusion is ‘mirror journals’. Promoted as one way of solving the problem of a lack of publisher interest in Open Access, these titles are appearing in every discipline but what are they?
So Many Shades of Grey: Using Your Judgement to Answer Copyright QueriesClaire Sewell
From the fair dealing to sharing your research online, it seems that nothing with copyright is ever simple. There are few black and white rules about copyright but there are consequences for getting something wrong!
This webinar will cover some of the most common grey areas in copyright such as fair dealing and expiry dates and offer librarians some strategies to make decisions and help advise their research community on copyright issues.
Conference with Confidence: Doing Workplace ResearchClaire Sewell
Problem solving is a daily part of working in a library, whether it is for our users or ourselves. Turning these problems into research projects is the next step but one that many of us find difficult to take.
Delivered as part of our Conference with Confidence series, this workshop will help you think about the everyday innovations in your library and how these can be turned into research projects for discussion at future events. We will look at the pros and cons of undertaking research in your workplace, how it can help to generate solutions to problems, support a case for resources or just find out more about your library.
This workshop is suitable for those interested in undertaking research projects, complete novices or those wanting to know more about the possibilities of workplace research. Who knows where is might lead?
Conference with Confidence: Reflective Practice Workshop Claire Sewell
Reflective practice involves reflecting on one's actions to facilitate continuous learning. It can be done individually through journaling or with others in meetings. Reflecting helps overcome assumptions and maintain work-life balance. Models of reflection like Kolb's experiential learning cycle provide structure but may not always apply. Reflective writing should be analytical rather than descriptive and demonstrate learning and future applications. It requires reflecting on "what, so what, now what" regarding experiences. Barriers include lack of time, skills, and motivation, but can be overcome by prioritizing reflection and using examples.
The world of scholarly communication and research support is a fast moving one. Many different external developments can influence local practices but the speed can make it hard to keep up. Join the OSC for this short and accessible webinar which outlines some of the key developments in the scholarly communication landscape over the last year including the launch of Plan S, the breakdown of negotiations with Elsevier in Europe and the current copyright lawsuits against ResearchGate.
With Great Power Comes the Responsible Use of MetricsClaire Sewell
Metrics have long been used as an indicator of academic success and as a way to make key decisions. As the measurement of impact becomes increasingly important within academia there has been something of a backlash against trusting purely quantitative methods of assessment. The Responsible Metrics movement aims to ensure that metrics are used fairly alongside other measures to gather a true assessment of impact.
This webinar will discuss what the Responsible Metrics movement is, why it was developed, its importance and how library staff can best educate their research staff.
The Future of Open Access: What’s the Plan (S)? Claire Sewell
Since it was announced in September 2018 there has been a great deal of coverage around Plan S – the new initiative for Open Access publishing. The plan calls for all scientific publications resulting from grants funded by public research to be made available on compliant journals or platforms. This decision has drawn both praise and alarm from the research community but what does it all mean?
This webinar will discuss the history of Plan S, the principles that make up the plan and the arguments both in favour and against.

Blueprint for Success: Building a Research Support StrategyClaire Sewell
This document provides a blueprint for developing a library research support strategy. It outlines key steps including finding out about your research community's needs, auditing current services, looking at best practices of other institutions, identifying gaps, upskilling staff, discovering the library's unique value proposition, promoting services, horizon scanning for changes, and responding agilely. The goal is to create a strategy that delivers the best research experience and fills needs not met elsewhere for a university's highly motivated but time-poor researchers across 70+ disciplines.
Penguin Poop, Breaking the Internet and Doughnuts: What It's Really Like Work...Claire Sewell
Penguin poop, breaking the internet and doughnuts. The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of those who work in research support at academic libraries. It touches on assisting researchers through various stages like open access publishing, data management, and measuring impact. The work involves advising, training, interpreting policies and paperwork across the research lifecycle.
This document provides an overview of open access from the Office of Scholarly Communication at the University of Cambridge. It defines open access, discusses its benefits for researchers and the public, and outlines the open access policy landscape in the UK including policies from HEFCE, RCUK, and COAF. It also covers open access models like gold, green, and hybrid open access; version control; paying article processing charges; complying with policies as an author with multiple affiliations; and how to find and request open access articles. The key message is to deposit accepted manuscripts in a repository at the time of acceptance.
The document provides an overview of scholarly communication and the role of libraries in supporting researchers from the Office of Scholarly Communication at the University of Cambridge. It defines scholarly communication, outlines the changing nature of research in the 21st century, and describes the typical stages of a research career and lifecycle. The document also discusses pressures on academic publishing like the serials crisis and the development of open access. Finally, it introduces the Research Support Ambassador Programme which aims to increase knowledge of scholarly communication topics and build a community of research support librarians.
