Digital Scholarship

Digital Scholarship
by
Goh Poh Sun (First draft, June 4, 2015 @0630hrs)

Digital scholarship takes established principles of traditional scholarship (Glassick, Acad Med, 2000) and elaborates these for a digital age. Use of teaching websites or blogs to demonstrate not only what is used for teaching, but also to document student engagement with the material and evidence of student learning (by a combination of illustrative examples, digital artefacts, completed assessment and assignment tasks and information from data analytics), facilitates peer review of both teaching content, and the teaching process. This makes it easier to both peer review and critique the pedagogical approach, as well as outcomes of an educational process. Making teaching visible promotes self reflection and metacognition. An argument can be made that numbers of page views, time spent reviewing online content, the time spent on each webpage, evidence that online content is linked to, and recommended, and that viewers who are referred online material spend more time on this material, and recommend this to others - is similar to citations, and impact factor measurements used in traditional scholarship. It can also be argued that material that is frequently referred to, and recommended, must be at least useful, interesting, and potentially of high quality. This is similar to an analogy of queues that we see outside restaurants - the fact that patrons are willing to queue, that there are many patrons, is an indicator of the quality of the food. It can be argued that this has higher impact that the formal evaluation of food reviewers, both amateur and official ones. Teaching online can demonstrate both the quantity, and quality of our educational efforts.

Medical Education Peer Reviewed Publications (selected)

The intention of writing a recent series of reflection pieces (article 5, 6, 7, 9 and 11), as well the other articles below, was to set down in print as many of the useful ideas / and pointers I could think of, and which I have found useful and currently use, on the subject of TeL and implementing this, distilled from my reading, practice, and scholarly inquiry since 2002, as well as from the last 6 years of faculty development presentations, symposia and workshops I have been involved in designing and have participated in at NUS, at APMEC and AMEE; and have presented as invited speaker to conferences in Colombo, Sri Lanka; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; Jakarta, Indonesia; and as visiting professor in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
