This chapter presents case studies of the way reputations are built at the university. If there is an institution that feeds on reputation, it is the academy. Prestige, notoriety, standing, and reputation reign supreme within its halls. Professors and scholars are not only more motivated by symbolic rewards than by economic interest. They also spend a great deal of time designing institutions whose primary purpose is the creation, maintenance, and evaluation of each other's reputation and eminence. Such rankings are sometimes even treated as if they were the most dependable hallmarks of the truth itself. The chapter shows how the very idea of an academic reputation changed radically after new systems for calibrating reputations came into their own.

In this interview, we discuss what open access can teach us about the state of the university, as well as practices in scholarly publishing. In particular the focus is on issues of labor and precarity, the question of how open access enables or blocks other innovations in scholarship, the way open access might be changing practices of scholarship, and the role of technology and automation in the creation, evaluation, and circulation of scholarly work.

University didactics can be defined as a field of reflection relating to some specific empirical categories of educational events. In this sense, the main aim of the research conducted was to identify, according to a quantitative and qualitative approach, the innovative elements of didactics in an ecosystemic perspective, analysing the way in which the context and the elements characterising it play a decisive role. Particular emphasis has been given to the use of mulitple languages (multimedia perspective), and to the possibility of activating several integrated fields of action (multimodal perspective) in order to elicit the creation of multiple and original viewpoints through activities of comparison and sharing. Specifically, the research was conducted through the testing of different didactic strategies according to a blended learning methodology within the scope of some university courses offered by the Department of Education Sciences of the University of Bologna

Con el auge en la creación de Objetos de Aprendizaje (OA) para apoyar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en las universidades cubanas, ha cambiado de manera significativa la forma en que los docentes diseñan y preparan sus cursos, permitiéndoles actualizar su contenido con el uso cotidiano de la tecnología. Como parte de este proceso, se comienzan a tener en cuenta la forma de evaluar eficientemente la calidad de los Objetos de Aprendizaje que se producen. Para ello se consideran diferentes criterios a la hora de evaluarlos. En esta investigación se resumen las características, definiciones y ventajas de los OA. Se exponen además diferentes modelos de evaluación y estándares de catalogación. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es lograr  conformar la base necesaria para fundamentar una guía que permita evaluar la calidad de los Objetos de Aprendizaje una vez creados en la Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas, y de esta manera garantizar una mayor utilización y una mejor aceptación de los mismos.The quality of the learning objects produced at the university of information sciencesAbstractWith the boom in the creation of Learning Objects to support the teaching-learning process in Cuban universities, has significantly changed the way in which teachers design and prepare their courses, allowing them to update the content daily use of technology. As part of this process, they begin to consider how to efficiently evaluate the quality of learning objects that are produced. This will consider various criteria when evaluating them. This research summarizes the characteristics, definitions and benefits of OA. Also discussed different models of evaluation and documentation standards. The main objective of this work is to form the basis for founding a guide for evaluating the quality of learning objects once created at the University of Information Sciences, and thereby ensure greater use and greater acceptance of them.

The attention sustainability and its impact of social status in the class are current issues concerning the field of education are the reasons for delay in assimilating the learning material and early school dropout. Behind both of those problems stand psychological causes such as low attention sustainability, poor communication skills and lack of positive environment. The presented article aims to prove that sustainability of attention directly influences the social status of students in the class, and hence their overall development and the way they feel in the group. Making efforts to increase students’ attention sustainability could lead to an increase in the social status of the student and hence the creation of a favorable and positive environment for the overall development of the individual.

This article reports on and discusses the experience of a contrapuntal approach to teaching poetry, explored during 2016 and 2017 in a series of introductory poetry lectures in the English 1 course at the University of Johannesburg. Drawing together two poems—Warsan Shire’s “Home” and W.H. Auden’s “Refugee Blues”—in a week of teaching in each year provided an opportunity for a comparison that encouraged students’ observations on poetic voice, racial identity, transhistorical and transcultural human experience, trauma and empathy. It also provided an opportunity to reflect on teaching practice within the context of decoloniality and to acknowledge the need for ongoing change and review in relation to it. In describing the contrapuntal teaching and study of these poems, and the different methods employed in the respective years of teaching them, I tentatively suggest that canonical Western and contemporary postcolonial poems may reflect on each other in unique and transformative ways. I further posit that poets and poems that engage students may open the way into initially “less relevant” yet ultimately rewarding poems, while remaining important objects of study in themselves.

This chapter examines systematicity as a form of normative justification. Thompson’s contention is that the Hegelian commitment to fundamental presuppositionlessness and hence to methodological immanence, from which his distinctive conception of systematicity flows, is at the core of the unique form of normative justification that he employs in his political philosophy and that this is the only form of such justification that can successfully meet the skeptic’s challenge. Central to Thompson’s account is the distinction between systematicity and representation and the way in which this frames Hegel’s relationship to the traditional forms of justification and the creation of his own distinctive kind of normative argumentation.

Abstract Background Guidelines for patient decision aids (DA) recommend target population involvement throughout the development process, but developers may struggle because of limited resources. We sought to develop a feasible means of getting repeated feedback from users. Methods Between 2017 and 2020, two Swiss centers for primary care (Lausanne and Bern) created citizen advisory groups to contribute to multiple improvement cycles for colorectal, prostate and lung cancer screening DAs. Following Community Based Participatory Research principles, we collaborated with local organizations to recruit citizens aged 50 to 75 without previous cancer diagnoses. We remunerated incidental costs and participant time. One center supplemented in-person meetings by mailed paper questionnaires, while the other supplemented meetings using small-group workshops and analyses of meeting transcripts. Results In Lausanne, we received input from 49 participants for three DAs between 2017 and 2020. For each topic, participants gave feedback on the initial draft and 2 subsequent versions during in-person meetings with ~ 8 participants and one round of mailed questionnaires. In Bern, 10 participants were recruited among standardized patients from the university, all of whom attended in-person meetings every three months between 2017 and 2020. At both sites, numerous changes were made to the content, appearance, language, and tone of DAs and outreach materials. Participants reported high levels of satisfaction with the participative process. Conclusions Citizen advisory groups are a feasible means of repeatedly incorporating end-user feedback during the creation of multiple DAs. Methodological differences between the two centers underline the need for a flexible model adapted to local needs.
