Enrico De Angelis's curator insight, January 4, 2015 6:28 PM

The author of the post is Patrick Dunleavy, a Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics, author of a book about "How to plan, draft, write and finish a doctoral dissertation or thesis" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003).

He is a prolific blogger!

The diagnosis on "solo blogs" might be cruelly valid for my own externaldiffusion.com

Tifani Hasany's curator insight, March 21, 2022 12:15 AM

Tulisan memuat bagaimana penggunaan blog di academia dapat membantu tidak hanya sebagai alat mengkomunikasikan hasil riset namun juga secara tidak langsung mengubah alur dari akademik riset itu sendiri. Hal ini karena blog dinilai lebih singkat, lebih cepat, lebih efisien dan secara keseluruhan lebih baik.

 

Blog dapat membantu dalam beberapa aspek yaitu:

  • Cepat, dapat dilakukan real time.
  • Biasanya yang dikomunikasikan adalah “key take-aways” karena penulis ingin blognya tidak terlalu panjang
  • Beberapa blog memfasilitasi adanya lebih dari satu penulis.
  • Menjadi jembatan bagi akademisi dan publik
  • Menjadi pembukan untuk multiple disiplines

 

 

Tambahan Pemikiran:

 

Salah satu tulisan yang mendukung adanya digitalisasi untuk karya tulis dibidang academia. Tidak hanya sebagai salah satu jalur komunikasi namun secara tidak langsung juga dapat meningkatkan kualitas dari karya tulis itu sendiri.

 

Saya percaya dengan banyaknya akses dapat memberikan kesempatan bagi orang lain memberikan feedback terhadap apa yang ditulis. Dari sini kita bisa meningkatkan kualitas dari karya tulis tersebut. Disamping itu, dengan banyaknya komunikasi dengan public, kita jadi semakin bisa memahami kondisi dan concern dari pasar, ini khususnya bagi riset dalam ekonomi dan bisnis akan sangat membantu.

Really interesting article on the impact of technology on young people.

OneydaAyala's curator insight, October 24, 2016 9:42 PM
This article in contrast to the other only examines the cons of technology in kids based on the results. It addresses the lack of social skills kids have, the leaving behind of different basic principals in schools, and similarly to the other article it addresses the importance of parents. But this article does address how parents can serve as models to their children on how to limit the"constant communicating".
