More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
While industries such as music, newspapers, film and publishing have seen radical changes in their business models and practices as a direct result of new technologies, higher education has so far resisted the wholesale changes we have seen elsewhere. However, a gradual and fundamental shift in the practice of academics is taking place. Every aspect of scholarly practice is seeing changes effected by the adoption and possibilities of new technologies. This book will explore these changes, their implications for higher education, the possibilities for new forms of scholarly practice and what lessons can be drawn from other sectors.

This review is from: The Digital Scholar: How Technology is Changing Academic Practice (Paperback)
The Digital Scholar: How Technology Is Transforming Scholarly Practice is a very timely book which focusses on the key pinch points in academic research and publishing, including the nature of scholarship in an era of rapidly evolving digital technologies, public engagement with academic activity, and reward and recognition for academic effort. With David Willetts' recent rethink on the hoof of criteria for the forthcoming Research Excellence Framework exercise, The Digital Scholar is at the forefront of issues of public accountability of higher education and research. In view of the content of the book, it is fitting that Martin Weller has also chosen to explore new distribution models for academic publications by making the text freely available online as well as in electronic and traditional printed versions. This book represents the leading edge of current academic thought and points the way towards the future of scholarly practice.

This review is from: The Digital Scholar: How Technology is Transforming Scholarly Practice (Kindle Edition)
A scholar who believes in ten years we will find scholarly work online. I wonder, given the pace of change if ten months would be more accurate. I read students of his work at the Open University who reference their every blog as if it were a thesis or a micro-paper and others who receive over 1,000 page views a day. Whilst scholarship isn't a numbers game it pays to have informed readers.
