Reviews
A timely and significant contribution to the field. Many books tend to take either an advocacy stance or dystopian view of technology in scholarship, but Veletsianos manages to take a critical perspective that is both grounded in theory and rooted in practical experience. For any academic interested in the impact of networked technology on teaching or research, this is highly recommended. --Martin Weller, Professor of Educational Technology at the Open University, UK Social Media in Academia is one of those rare books that every new assistant professor and doctoral student should read and take to heart. Establishing one's public profile through networked scholarship is not a task to be undertaken casually, but one that requires mindfulness and discernment. Veletsianos provides invaluable guidance that all academics, but especially those just starting out, should heed. --Thomas C. Reeves, Professor Emeritus of Learning, Design, and Technology at the University of Georgia, USA
