Digital or Die – Building our Academic Digital Identity

Digital or Die – Building our Academic Digital Identity | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From tlinnovations.cikeys.com - October 11, 2016 2:37 PM
As a “young” researcher, I have been struggling for months with the concept of Digital Identity (DI). Digital Identity has been defined simply as “the permanent collection of data about us that is available online” by BinaryTattoo.

Up to the mid 90’s, pre-Internet days, academics built their scholarly identities via publications, conference presentations, workshops, etc. that they physically attended. Word of mouth about the quality of their teaching and research was another key diffuser and builder of their scholarly persona., such as annual conferences where vibrant ideas were exchanged with a lot of farewell hands-shakes and best wishes till “See you next year”.

Developing Digital Literacies for a Digital World: presentations | Information Literacy Weblog

Developing Digital Literacies for a Digital World: presentations | Information Literacy Weblog | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From information-literacy.blogspot.pt - July 2, 2014 3:17 AM

There are three presentations from the ALISS (Association of Librarians and Information Professionals in the Social Sciences) AGM held earlier this month. The theme was: Developing Digital Literacies for a Digital World and teh presentations are:
- Reflecting on Digital Scholarship competencies: Charles Inskip. This presents findings from the RILADS project, which asked heads of library services of UK universities how competent they thought staff were in various literacies (information literacy, media literacy, digital literacy etc.) though with an emphasis on "digital capabilities".
- Start with the Staff: Sally Patalong. This is a report on two staff development projects aimed at improving digital skills.
- Information literacy for researchers at SOAS: Beth Clark and Victoria Bird. They present preparing, delivering and promoting digital literacy training for Graduate Teaching Assistants. The actual slides do not have much information on them - if you scroll down the page, though, you will see some extra notes.

Digital Footprints - What to look for when Hiring Teachers - Instructional Tech Talk | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From instructionaltechtalk.com - January 16, 2014 4:47 AM
The Digital Footprint We have all heard the term and most of the time we only relate it to our own personal presence on the web. Most of our gut reactions are to Google someone to look for something ‘bad’ that would take them out of the running.
Elizabeth E Charles's insight:

The techniques given here for teachers can be applied to any individual.

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?

Digital Identities & Digital Citizenship: Houston, We Have a Problem | the theoryblog

Digital Identities & Digital Citizenship: Houston, We Have a Problem | the theoryblog | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From theory.cribchronicles.com - April 27, 2017 2:26 PM
A couple of weeks back, I gave the closing keynote in Keene State College’s Open Education spring speaker series.

It was a rumination on Open as a set of practices and a site of identity, particularly for those of us in higher ed. I wanted to consider what it means to engage in digital scholarship – and digital leadership – from an identity perspective rather than a role perspective…especially for those of us for whom the standard higher ed roles and labels of student/staff/faculty may be only partial or precarious, aspirational rather than fully institutionalized.

Sebastián Vásquez's curator insight, September 25, 2016 4:39 PM
Raising awareness about the importance of digital reputation management might save us of making mistakes that could put our lives (or any field) at risk. An image, a post or a comment could end up being a disaster for our professional fields if they are not along with social conventions about social behaviours. In additon, as social networks allow people to get a fast and massive access to information, we need to pay closer attention to the kind of content we publish since these spaces, nowadays, can even play the role of a resume for a job interview (as Scoop.it slogan says, "You are the content you publish"). My suggestion, then, could be to have our several social domains in separate virtual spaces instead of migled into only one, or limiting our virtual spaces to determined or previously set objectives.

5 Ways to Use Social Media as a Professor or Graduate student | PhD Talk

5 Ways to Use Social Media as a Professor or Graduate student | PhD Talk | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From phdtalk.blogspot.ca - August 28, 2014 8:18 AM

Today I have the pleasure of inviting Stephanie Echeveste to share her views on social media in academia. Stephanie is the community manager for USC Rossier Online...


Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter aren’t just platforms for over sharing personal information. Academics are also using these mediums to share informative content to students and colleagues, connect with other experts in their fields and strengthen their network and teaching techniques. Professors and graduate students can use these popular methods of communication to their advantage, and while the initial jump into the world of social media may be a bit daunting, here are five ways to make the transition much easier.

Does your digital footprint convey the message you want? If you don't know you should spend time figuring this out. In the 21st century our digital footprint conveys an important image and people should know what that is.  Below are ideas that will enable you to explore and consider if your digital footprint conveys the message you want to share with the world.  It will also give you ideas for activities you can do with your students so they can do the same.

Your personal brand | Learning with 'e's

From steve-wheeler.blogspot.co.uk - November 10, 2013 1:41 PM

The job market is increasingly competitive. Now more than ever, graduates need something more than a good degree to be hot candidates, to make employers sit up and take notice. Once you could expect to be invited to interview for your dream job if you presented your certificates, a resume of your past experience and some glowing references from the good and the great. Now that's probably not enough. You may not even be shortlisted if you don't stand out from the crowd. The selection process is increasingly unforgiving. Employers have such a choice of well qualified but unemployed young people right now, new graduates often don't even get a look in. So what exactly will tip the balance and get you noticed?

This project aims to deliver a small number of key outputs contributing to a wider investigation into the support available to students, staff and researchers to enhance digital literacy. There are two strands to the project. One is co-ordinated by Research Information Network (RIN) on behalf of Research Information and Digital Literacies Coalition (RIDLs), the other by SCONUL under the JISC Developing Digital Literacies (DDL) programme.
