New, critical scholarship is needed to improve digital learning | University Affairs

New, critical scholarship is needed to improve digital learning | University Affairs | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
A critical perspective on digital learning is desperately needed, and I hope that future scholarship will engage with this perspective, not simply to criticize online learning for being unlike face-to-face learning, but to drastically improve the design and functions of education overall. Scholarship should evoke change, and academics, particularly academics in schools of education, should strive to improve our societies in meaningful ways. By applying research to practice, we can make strides towards creating equitable, effective and supportive digital learning environments.

I continue to think a great deal about how new media has grown the possibilities of our collective academic work. As the director of a Masters in Writing Studies Program at Kean University, I often reckon with how our traditional forms of scholarship are merely one reference point when considering how to produce and create new knowledge.

Information Literacy In the Wild | Library Babel Fish @insidehighered

Information Literacy In the Wild | Library Babel Fish @insidehighered | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

This morning, catching up on the Sunday New York Times (which often takes me the better part of a week), I felt as if a lot of synapses were firing, making connections in unexpected places. It started with an op-ed piece by Jeffrey M. Zacks, a Washington University psychology professor who studies the way we tend to absorb beliefs from the movies. “Our minds are not well equipped to sort good sources from bad ones,” he writes, because we forget where we originally encountered information. A vivid piece of make-believe might be more easily recalled and consulted than a whole shelf of carefully-documented histories studied in class.

The Importance of a Good Social Media Profile Picture | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
When was the last time you had a good look at your profile picture? Does it match the image you are trying to portray for that particular site or are you still using an old outdated photo from a couple years ago to portray a cool guy image?
