Workshop
Description: Academic promotion routinely requires appraisal of individual faculty's scholarly impact. Metrics such as journal impact factor, types of scholarship, and educator portfolios are all used to substantiate an individual's scholarship and academic merit. Schimanski and Alperin talk about how knowledge dissemination methods are evolving in the digital era and how we must adapt traditional promotion and tenure processes to include emerging forms of digital scholarship. Impact and quality of scholarship remain consistent in the appraisal process as Glassick described serving as the continued cornerstone and benchmark for overall review and judgment.
Through interactive audience engagement tools, this workshop starts involving participants in a review of different types of digital scholarship as described by trends in this growing field. Facilitators will then introduce metrics and tools that exist in current literature to appraise various digital works prior to usage and application during the workshop. Participants will work in groups to use the various tools on a mock academic portfolio and compare the qualities and outcomes of their use. Using appreciative inquiry and peer feedback, attendees will leave with a plan to better package their academic portfolios to align with promotion and tenure committee requirements helping to advocate for the increased consideration of digital works into overall scholarly work and impact at their institutions.
