Impact – REF impact pilot exercise findings

…impact should be defined broadly to include social, economic, cultural, environmental, health and quality of life benefits. Impact purely within academia should not be included in this part of the REF

Resident practice

…and I’m now part of the Urban Design Group on Facebook as well, so I tend to post things. So if I’m looking, you know, just procrastinating on the internet and looking for architectural things, or things about house decoration, which I like a lot, and I find something interesting, I think will be useful for them, I post to them on the group.

Belonging - practice

…the Facebook group is extremely active also, if not for just complaining about an assignment or trying to find a particular reading, but also sharing current news articles with each other. UKG2

Resident practice

I don’t get involved with things like Facebook and Twitter. I have major misgivings about the confidentiality of things such as that and the fact that people do trawl it to see who said what, and it’s not easy to wipe off what you said at some later stage. …I don’t have an objection to them in principle, but I think in practice they can actually be quite dangerous weapons. UKF4

Belonging - practice

So Wikipedia, I say Wikipedia often but it is not just for learning, I like to go on there and just read things, anything really. So I don’t use that often, if I can avoid it I do. If I was using it as a source in my coursework I probably wouldn’t use Wikipedia because it is unreliable. UKS3

Comments:

Good post, Dave, but no (I think)…

…I think you’re drawing a third discrete category of interpersonal interaction where you need to be seeing the boundaries of the other two as very fuzzy and indistinct. But that latter idea isn’t going to get anyone keynote gigs or radio 4 interviews…  

Lawrie Phipps

Things to consider

Am I already well known?

Is the ‘success’ criteria changing?

What do I consider to be credible practice?

What do I believe about the production of knowledge?

Am I prepared to ‘decompartmentalise’?
