No full textIn this episode, the newest member of the Leading Lines team, Melissa Mallon, interviews Maha Bali, associate professor of the practice at the Center for Learning and Teaching at the American University in Cairo. Maha is a full-time faculty developer and also teaches educational game design to undergraduates. She’s also very active in educational technology and digital pedagogy discussions online. She and Melissa have a wide-ranging conversation, from faculty development, to critical pedagogy, to digital literacy, to surveillance capitalism, to social media, and more
Episode 3a: CoP Interview: Open at the Margins with Maha Bali
No full textIn this episode, Brenna interviews Maha Bali about her edited collection Open at the Margins and the ways open education is not always already equitable. Maha discusses intentionally equitable hospitality, being a scholar outside the dominant discursive frame, and the complexities of consent in the classroom. Maha invites us to consider our values and the challenges in upholding them.https://scholars.wlu.ca/community-of-praxis/1005/thumbnail.jp
Open Learning Recipe
Get PDFCuratorial note from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: This is a crowdsourced document in which participants in a rhizomatic, connectivist open course (#rhizo15) worked together in the first week to create a recipe for open learning. It was created in an open Google Docs document where different participants entered the tips they felt would be helpful to someone new to the arena of open learning. Because participants could see one another’s tips, they could add to what already existed, add comments (viewable in the margins), and ask for clarification. The document is a good example of crowdsourcing knowledge in a network and can be adapted for a variety of different learning contexts. The #rhizo15 MOOC participants: Maha Bali, Dave Cormier, Helen DeWaard, Barry Dyck, Ann Gagne, Dilrukshi Gamage, Kevin Hodgson, Rebecca J. Hogue, Sarah Honeychurch, Keesa V. Johnson, Scott Johnson, James Kerr, Daniel Lynds, Laura Pasquini, Sandra Sinfield, Lenandlar Singh, Wendy Taleo, Lee Skallerup Bessette, Sandra Rennie, Blair Vessey, Susan Watson, Wafa Nichol
Episode 4: 'Staff development', with Alexandra Mihai and Maha Bali
No full textThis is episode 4, featuring two esteemed guests, Alexandra Mihai, Assistant Professor of Innovation in Higher Education from the University of Maastricht and Maha Bali, Associate Professor of Practice at the Centre for Learning & Teaching at the American University in Cairo. In a free flowing and wide ranging conversation, Dom Pates, James Rutherford and Dr. Ivan Sikora, invited Alexandra and Maha to talk about their views and experiences of supporting teaching in a live hybrid dual delivery mode. They discussed the importance of equity, listening to students all along the way, the need for support in class to manage both audiences, how hybrid teaching works in a problem-based learning modality, the many challenges of hybrid teaching and how to overcome some of them, the need to focus on the teaching practice and the experience of students rather than the technology, the value of co-ordinated support from stakeholders both pedagogical and technical, and how vital is to have a plan B at all times
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
