13. Impact – REF impact pilot exercise findings
…impact should be defined broadly to
include social, economic, cultural,
environmental, health and quality of life
benefits. Impact purely within academia
should not be included in this part of the
REF

14. Impact – REF impact pilot exercise findings
‘reach’ and ‘significance’

15. Reach – Knowledge Mobilisation?

24. Resident practice
…and I’m now part of the Urban Design Group
on Facebook as well, so I tend to post things.
So if I’m looking, you know, just procrastinating
on the internet and looking for architectural
things, or things about house decoration, which
I like a lot, and I find something interesting, I
think will be useful for them, I post to them on
the group. UKF5

27. Belonging - practice
…the Facebook group is
extremely active also, if not
for just complaining about an
assignment or trying to find a
particular reading, but also
sharing current news articles
with each other. UKG2

28. Resident practice
I don’t get involved with things like Facebook
and Twitter. I have major misgivings about the
confidentiality of things such as that and the
fact that people do trawl it to see who said
what, and it’s not easy to wipe off what you
said at some later stage. …I don’t have an
objection to them in principle, but I think in
practice they can actually be quite dangerous
weapons. UKF4

29. Belonging - practice
So Wikipedia, I say Wikipedia
often but it is not just for learning, I
like to go on there and just read
things, anything really. So I don’t
use that often, if I can avoid it I do.
If I was using it as a source in my
coursework I probably wouldn’t
use Wikipedia because it is
unreliable. UKS3

30. Comments:
Good post, Dave, but no (I think)…
…I think you’re drawing a third discrete
category of interpersonal interaction where you
need to be seeing the boundaries of the other
two as very fuzzy and indistinct. But that latter
idea isn’t going to get anyone keynote gigs or
radio 4 interviews… 

33. Things to consider
Am I already well known?
Is the ‘success’ criteria changing?
What do I consider to be credible practice?
What do I believe about the production of knowledge?
Am I prepared to ‘decompartmentalise’?
