Academic Reputation Building Mechanisms in Online Learning Environments

A presentation made at the 9th Annual Iranian Conference on e-Learning (ICeLeT), 11-13 March 2015, Kharazmi University, Tehran, IRAN. <br>Abstract: Currently academic reputation building is mainly based on research activities and publications. Online reputation building platforms such as ResearchGate, ImpactStory, GrowKudos, Academia and alike all mainly focus on research. Some of these also take into account interactions among peers and knowledge exchange activities; however, teaching and education related activities are totally missing in current reputation building activities. This paper studies a range of online reputation building platforms such as Altmetrics platforms, academic social networking services, and online learning environments to find out about any data and measure of reputation related to teaching and learning activities. Then, considering the types of data potentially available through different types of learning platforms, teaching related reputation building mechanisms and measures are proposed.

摘要：当前学术声誉的构建主要以研究活动与学术成果发表为核心依据。ResearchGate、ImpactStory、GrowKudos、Academia等在线声誉构建平台均以研究领域为主要服务方向，部分平台还纳入了同行互动与知识交流活动，但当前的声誉构建体系完全缺失了与教学及教育相关的活动维度。本文对替代计量（Altmetrics）平台、学术社交网络服务、在线学习环境等多类在线声誉构建平台展开研究，旨在挖掘与教学及学习活动相关的声誉数据及评价指标。随后，结合不同类型学习平台可获取的潜在数据类型，本文提出了面向教学场景的声誉构建机制与评价方案。
