This document outlines an agenda for a meeting on social media and scholarship. The agenda includes an introduction to the Zipcast platform, a quiz on digital scholarship readings, assignments on using Mendeley for reference management and note-taking software like OneNote and Zotero, and a discussion of using social media in academic research. Students will work in groups to complete assignments on enhancing academic publications using digital tools and collaborating online.

EXPLORING NOTE-TAKING & ANNOTATION SOFTWARE
In Assignment 3 literature was identified related to the topics assigned to each of the groups;
these topics are noted again below. This literature serves as point of departure for Assignment
22 May 2012
4: preparation of notes / annotations on this literature using either OneNote or Zotero.
Students should discuss and decide which (or both) of these two tools will be used. Although
the annotations will be prepared individually, the assignment is to be carried out in subgroups
of 2-3 students from each of the 10 groups. As with other assignments, the entire group is to
confer near the end of the exercise.
Ljubljana
Compose reflections on this activity in gaining familiarity with note-taking software. These
reflections, maximum one page in length excluding possible screenshots and references,
should be prepared individually. Preparation of reflections may benefit by performing a
general search of reviews, videos and other materials on the software; be sure to reference
the use of such material in the blog post. Reflections are to be posted on the individual
student blogs and uploaded to a folder on course website no later than Monday 30 April,
21.00. [ERROR: should be Monday, 21 May, 21.00]
Complete the group reports of literature notes / annotations initiated during the in-class
assignment. Assign an editor from group members who will be responsible for collecting the
subgroup annotations and compiling them into a group report that will be uploaded to the
group Dropbox folder for Assignment 4 no later than Monday 21 May, 21.00.

31. Assignment 7 (final exercise)
PREPARING PORTFOLIO ON ENHANCING SCHOLARLY PUBLICATIONS; PREPARATION OF GROUP PRESENTATION
Most academic publications – conference papers, journal articles, book chapters – are
prepared as texts with few to none of the functions available in a Web environment: no color,
22 May 2012
no dynamic visualizations, no hyperlinks to external resources, no links within a document
(e.g., from in-text reference to bibliographic entry). This final assignment for the practicum
Doing Digital Scholarship provides opportunity for groups of students to develop enhanced
versions of traditionally prepared academic texts. The assignment allows students to utilize a
number of the tools available for doing digital scholarship that will be presented during the
Ljubljana
practicum: annotation tools, reference management tools, collaboration tools, and tools for
publishing and presenting.
Each subgroup, 2-3 students, from the pre-assigned groups is responsible for enhancing one of
the three traditional academic texts that are assigned to a group; see list below. Groups
members are expected discuss their approaches to enhancing the three texts and to utilize
tools related to the following tasks:
Note-taking & document annotating (e.g., OneNote, Zotero)
Reference management (Mendeley, EndNote)
Collaborating (e.g., group blog, Skype, Elluminate, Adobe Connect)
Co-authoring & file sharing software (e.g., Google Docs, Dropbox)
Presentation software (e.g., Prezi, Powerpoint, Keynote)
Publishing platforms and venues ( iBooks Author; Commentpress; Issuu, repositories, e.g., 31
SSRN)

Ljubljana
• Mendeley (reference management software)
• OneNote (or other note-taking tool)
• Zotero (reference management, annotation)
• Annotation tools (e.g., Word Review, PDF Pro)
