Scholarship development: Introduction to digital scholarship

Resources

Presentation Slides | Presentation Recording (UHI login required)

Outline

The session will explore the idea of ‘digital scholarship’, or how we can use online digital media and networks to engage in the sharing and development of academic knowledge, also looking at how we can harness social media and online networks to develop our own educational practice; engage students in co-creative pedagogic approaches; share good practice with others; and increase engagement with our own scholarly and research outputs. Drawing upon a range of practical examples, a key aim of the webinar is for participants to identify at least one way in which they could benefit from engaging (or further engaging) in digital scholarship activity.

Presenter

Keith Smyth is Professor of Pedagogy and Head of the Learning and Teaching Academy. Keith works with colleagues across the university on strategic learning and teaching developments, learning and teaching enhancement initiatives, funded projects and supporting staff to engage in educational research.
