Identities & Influence Online

"For the first time in human history, two related propositions are true. One, it no longer
is possible to store within the human brain all of the information that a human needs.
Second, it no longer is necessary to store
within the human brain all of the information that humans need.
Education needs to be geared toward
the handling of data rather than the accumulation of data.”
- Berlo, 1975
structure of abundance = networks

networks are not just for consuming, but connecting
many-to-many communications

knowledge abundance enables us to create ourselves as network
nodes, forming webs of visible (& invisible) connections

Those within the academy become very skilled at judging the stuff of
reputations. Where has the person’s work been published, what claims of
priority in discovery have they established, how often have they been
cited, how and where reviewed, what prizes won, what institutional ties earned,
what organizations led?
Willinsky, 2010

networks have their own logics.
what are the logics & literacies of networks? what is a
scholarship of abundance? what is learning in abundance?
capacity to contribute to
“The Conversation”
scale of visibility
common interests & disciplines
shared ties
influence = perception of capacity to contribute
matter-ing matters
Sometimes…I’ll choose someone with twenty
followers, because I come across something they’ve
managed to say in 140 characters, and I think “oh,
look at you, crafting on a grain of rice.”
