digital scholarship leveraging digital tools in the 21st century
DESCRIPTION
The academic landscape is changing and this is a result of the transition from a 20th century information society to a 21st century networked society (Rheingold, 2010). Many academics are adapting to these changes by maximising and leveraging multiple digital tools to communicate, create, collaborate and connect. This seminar focuses on how academics are using these digital tools to build their profile, identity and brand within and beyond their institutions. The presenter will highlight several case studies drawn from the University of Huddersfield and other HEIs. The audience will also be encouraged to share their experiences of using these digital tools to build their academic reputationTRANSCRIPT
