Recenzje

“Katie Linder’s background in faculty development shines through on every page, turning aspirational points about why one might be interested in social media into specific, pragmatic steps that one can easily implement.”

Jason Jones, Director of Educational Technology

Trinity College

“I found Managing Your Professional Identity Online to be a practical and compelling guide for building an online professional brand. This text pulls together the technical experience with the why and how-to of building an online professional presence and is a much-needed resource in the field. It fills a unique niche that has needed a publication like this.”

Jennifer H. Herman, Director, Center for Excellence in Teaching

Simmons College

“Managing Your Professional Identity Online is pragmatic, practical, and offers an important set of tools and questions for academics to consider regarding online networked practices. The strength is the way the text provides a broad overview of a range of issues related to the development and management of an academic identity online. Linder covers a variety of topics – from the range of platforms and tools – to issues around accessibility, management, and knowledge of content creation and community building – that are important for higher education professionals in the digital age.”
