Alex is : Exploring social referencing apps to deliver training about using them for an online journal club. Anyone used them for this purpose? - Jo Badge from Bookmarklet

You can also have a shared reference list in Zotero and pipe the RSS feed to a Friendfeed group for discussion. - Pedro Beltrao

Interesting move by the Danish government. Raises lot sof issues about assessment, the nature of the questions, what we are training students for and academic integrity. - Jo Badge from Bookmarklet

I've always favoured the format used for the entry exam to the Chinese Civil Service during the Han dynasty. - AJCann

"Ah ha - the pop up had popped up off the bottom of the page. Silly me not to have found it. Interesting post Dr Cann. I guess the question is do we care? If we are going to follow the students to their place of conversation and meet them there, why not have a hub to 'keep stuff' in and talk elsewhere? We do it all the time." - Jo Badge

"I like the stripped down criteria. I guess the quesitons are going to be 'what is an update?' what is a reflective comment? Are we going to build an examplar? what about sharing and networking? what about subscribing? tagging? sorry, that's lots of questions for which I don't have answers, just trying to think around the issue. err btw - what's happened to disqus - where do I log in? pop up was broken on IE 7, so here is my Firefox version :-)" - Jo Badge

"oh dear. Prefacing every question with 'have you read the notes?' getting boring is it? Guess they aren't 'clicking on the related links' either :-(" - Jo Badge

"great idea Jay, I'll be interested to hear how you are getting on with it and will look out for and comment on your posts when I can :-)" - Jo Badge

Blimey, seven things already, though at least six of them seem to be 'err you need to know that we don't know much about it or what to do with' ;-) - Jo Badge

"thanks for advertising this Alan - still a few places left. while I'm here - have you updated disqus - I can now see how many comments I've made and I have 14 points - what's that all about - are you grading comments now?! and I can auto-tweet my comments. OOOOO, fancy." - Jo Badge

I'm not interested in celebrity scientists any more than I'm interested in celebrity sportsmen or celebrity dancers. This disability makes it very hard to live in this society. - AJCann

oh you poor man. I guess I should deploy my energies elsewhere?! Can't do marking though... done a bit on the alt-n doc, so back to the review :-( - Jo Badge

still a few places left if anyone can come to Leicester for this event on 26 november :-) - Jo Badge

"whatever you use, as long as it isn't illuminate, I don't mind ;-)" - Jo Badge

"can't you do this already on tweetdeck? I can create columns on there for selected followers. I guess the difference here is that you can share those lists? but you don't want them to be shared, you just want them for personal use?? then use tweetdeck ;-)" - Jo Badge

"I like the idea of using FF in this way - when? for the BS1010 or BS1011? or are you looking ahead to next academic year? However, I wonder if the object orientated nature of FF may not encourage the 'blog-like' reflection we were hopign for on Wordpress? (and btw if I comment on the blog, but by DISQUS account is pulled into FF, where does it go in FF and will I soon disappear in an infinite loop of my own self posting destruction?)" - Jo Badge

woo hoo. How cunning is that? here pops up my comments on alan's blog as a related entry on FF. - Jo Badge

The aim of this wiki is to provide a central place to brainstorm and execute on the challenge of archiving Open Notebook Science (ONS) projects in a way that specific versions of documents can be archived and cited. The participation of libraries would be ideal as objective third party curators. Useful information on preserving wikispaces sites by Andy Lang. - Jo Badge

A short communication I wrote with my better half about his use of online lab notebooks with his undergraduate project students. Would like to do some more research in this area (If I can find the time and some money!) - Jo Badge from Bookmarklet

thanks guys :-) - Jo Badge

I sent this to my librarian friends, too. - Mickey Schafer

Computers and Composition, Vol. 26, No. 2. (June 2009), pp. 65-77. Based on a case study of the popular plagiarism detection service Turnitin, particularly its “Legal Document,” this article contends that plagiarism detection services should be viewed as digital archives. Services like Turnitin not only seek to regulate what constitute original texts and appropriate writing practices but also to advance conceptions of the work that archives should do in storing and circulating texts in digital spaces. This article concludes that the services we sometimes use to ensure the integrity of students’ texts can themselves be of questionable integrity—largely through the design of their archives. As increasing numbers of texts take digital form, the problems and promise of digital archives will demand thoughtful responses that do not rush to replace questionable writing and research practices with equally troubling pedagogical and archival ones. These thoughtful responses start with exploring... - Jo Badge

Thanks, Jo! I have accepted the invitation:-). Don't know that I'll have much to add, though. Perhaps naively, I have depended more on my training/instincts as a linguist, as well as common sense, to catch plagiarism. I haven't been using turnitin b/c I'm not reassured that it will work for scientific writing where the culture encourages homogeneity of style and participants use... more... - Mickey Schafer

which tool are you using for the mindmap, Jo? - Claudia Koltzenburg

I would be interested in knowing as well - are you using a specific tool for the mindmap? - Zephyrus

Actually I used a price of paper and a pencil but don't tell anyone ;-) - Jo Badge from iPod

It's funny how people use tools differently and how the tools and usage evolves. Bizarrely I've just created some new imaginary FF friends to ensure I can see Twitter conversations (that I'd be interested in but am now worried I might otherwise miss because I don't use the real-time web that frequently). - Brendan

for a good argument on OA published articles useful in helping detection http://network.nature.com/people... - Claudia Koltzenburg

Thanks claudia :-) - Jo Badge from iPod

Vol. 2009, No. 26 March. (October 2008) BBC News - Jo Badge

(18 May 1999) Who's cheating whom in college writing instruction? This book argues that through binary privileging of the "real" author (the inspired, autonomous genius) over the transgressive writer (the collaborator or the plagiarist), composition pedagogy deprives students of important opportunities to join in scholarly discourse and assume authorial roles. From Plato's paradoxical dependence on and rejection of Homer, to Jerome McGann's dismissal of copyright as the "hand of the dead," Standing in the Shadow of Giants surveys changes and conflicts in Western theories of authorship. From this survey emerges an account of how and why plagiarism became important to academic culture; how and why current pedagogical representations of plagiarism contradict contemporary theory of authorship; why the natural, necessary textual strategy of patchwriting is mis-classified as academic dishonesty; and how teachers might craft pedagogy that authorizes student writing instead of criminalizing... - Jo Badge
