Critical literacies for a datafied society: academic development and curriculum design in higher education | Research in Learning Technology

Critical literacies for a datafied society: academic development and curriculum design in higher education | Research in Learning Technology | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From journal.alt.ac.uk - October 10, 2020 7:04 PM
Participation in democracy, in today’s digital and datafied society, requires the development of a series of transversal skills, which should be fostered in higher education (HE) through critically oriented pedagogies that interweave technical data skills and practices together with information and media literacies. If students are to navigate the turbulent waters of data and algorithms, then data literacies must be featured in academic development programmes, thereby enabling HE to lead in the development of approaches to understanding and analysing data, in order to foster reflection on how data are constructed and operationalised across societies, and provide opportunities to learn from the analysis of data from a range of sources. The key strategy proposed is to adopt the use of open data as open educational resources in the context of problem and research-based learning activities. This paper introduces a conceptual analysis including an integrative overview of relevant literature, to provide a landscape perspective to support the development of academic training and curriculum design programmes in HE to contribute to civic participation and to the promotion of social justice.

How librarians can engage citizens to use open access contents and op…

From www.slideshare.net - May 22, 2019 7:36 PM

#LILG_2019 #biblioVerifica #crowdSearcher #iloOER

The slides describes the BiblioVerifica blog, which is an attempt by librarians to fight misinformation by using media and data literacy, engaging citizens as awareness users of the social networks, chats and blogs.
Biblioverifica aims to be a public engagement project based on information literacy practices, implementing tips and tricks about search tools, reliable sources, verification strategies. This non-profit initiative promotes fact-checking based on open resources as data, journals, tools, etc.

Esther Fernández Ramos's curator insight, May 26, 2019 3:34 PM
Una misión que comparten bibliotecarios e investigadores es contribuir a mejorar la sociedad. El acceso abierto es una herramienta que puede ser muy útil, pero como todas las herramientas necesita ser conocida y utilizada para desarrollar su potencial. 

Hemos de trabajar para que el contenido en abierto ayude a formar ciudadanos más informados y capaces de tomar decisiones con la mejor base posible.

Open Data & Education

Open Data & Education | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From zenodo.org - March 14, 2019 3:43 PM

Key Points

  • Open data can help researchers and policy makers understand the education landscape, can provide information for parents and children about education facilities and their performance, and can be used as an input into education: making a connection between open data and Open Educational Resources (OER).
  • Attention must focus beyond the simple availability of education data to also question how the data is shaped, presented, and used. This should address the ways in which, without wider policy interventions, making data available about education performance may ultimately reinforce stigma and social divides.
  • There has been relatively limited overlap between OER and Open Data communities, although since 2013, the Open Knowledge Education Working Group has sought to build connections between them. There are opportunities for future strengthening of these links, increasing the use of open data as a key educational resource, and supporting more applied civic education.

Last spring I had a chance to see Dan Russell give a presentation of a new Google search tool called Dataset Search. It spent 2019 in beta. Last week it lost beta label and is now widely available to anyone who wants to use it.

Hey, writers! Get academic research for free – without breaking the law – | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From tashasuri.com - April 19, 2019 10:45 AM

A while ago I asked if any writers wanted guidance on finding free – and most importantly, legal – access to academic research online. About 190+ respondents said yes. So belatedly, here’s some advice on finding research without paying for it.

Writers need access to academic research for lots and lots of reasons. When I started working on Empire of Sand I wanted to use India’s Mughal Empire for inspiration, which meant I specifically needed to research the history, culture and politics of that era and region of the world.

Open Data as Open Educational Resources: Case studies of emerging practice | Open Education Working Group

Open Data as Open Educational Resources: Case studies of emerging practice | Open Education Working Group | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From education.okfn.org - November 17, 2015 8:57 AM

his post marks the official publication of the volume: Open Data as Open Educational Resources: Case studies of emerging practice.

The process of developing this book was a learning experience for us. We had no prior experience in independent publishing, but instead of going the traditional route of attempting to find a professional publisher, in the spirit of openness, we decided to self publish, and to make the entire process as open as possible. The intention of this book is to showcase good practices in an approachable way that can be understood by those who are not necessarily very familiar with open data or data analysis, in order to promote the use of open data as OER to educators, researchers and other organisations.

Learning Resource Metadata Initiative tagging schema is an easy way for open and proprietary content publishers to standardize the way they describe the education specific characteristics of their resources.
