New article published: A virtual panopticon in the community of practice

18/7/2017

My colleagues and I have published a new article in the journal The Internet and Higher Education. The article is about research conducted a few years ago in which we examined how university lecturers and students use social web technologies for assessment tasks in higher education. In this article we investigate students' experiences of being visible on social media. We explore how students feel about making their assessable work visible to others through blogs and other social technologies. We argue that this experience can be likened to being in a "virtual panopticon" in which students are always aware of being visible and of having a potential audience for their work.  

The article is available on the Internet and Higher Education website and can be downloaded for free until 6th September 2017.
