Presentation given at OISE library as part of Open Access Week 2010. Video+slides: http://142.150.98.64/OISE/20101021-120919-1/rnh.htm
Abstract: As scholars, we want to make our work widely known, and to receive recognition for our achievements. As educational researchers, we have a special interest in making our research available to those who can practically benefit from it: teachers, school boards, parents and politicians. Open Access to our research publications is an important first step, but we can go much further than this. Scholars in all fields are experimenting with many innovative ways of sharing their research, both during the research process, and afterwards. This presentation will introduce a number of case studies, discuss advantages and challenges in making your research more open, and outline trends in the future of scholarly communications.
3. The Open Scholar, as I'm defining this person, is not
simply someone who agrees to allow free access and
reuse of his or her traditional scholarly articles and
books; no, the Open Scholar is someone who makes
their intellectual projects and processes digitally
visible and who invites and encourages ongoing
criticism of their work and secondary uses of any or
all parts of it--at any stage of its development.

42. The current Open Access model is provisioning for
legacy genres and formats of scholarly
communication. That's great for archival purposes, but
this is not the next real destination for scholarly
discourse. Why? Because consequential intellectual
work takes place in myriad ways outside of traditional
scholarly genres, that's why, and the digital realm is
ready to capture, organize, value, and disseminate
those other ways of generating knowledge.
