Online Education in Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Programs. Diaries, Visual Storytelling, Narratives, and Authorship of a Researcher on the move in Cities and Cyberspace
“This is a creative work in the way it brings together different forms of language. In the first part, the author narrates her professional journey, intertwined with the practices of online diaries throughout her career in research-training within cyberculture. It follows with a digital storytelling in the format of an online diary written on Instagram, and in the third part, a pedagogical scientific report, where she presents a theoretical-practical analysis of her postdoctoral period at The Ohio State University (OSU), USA, adopting a more academic tone. What she presents to us is what we could call a Researcher’s Personal Environment (RPE), which holds immense reflective potential. In today’s world of cyberculture, Open Science (OS) and Open Education (OERs, MOOCs), as well as the forced immersion into the digital world brought on by the pandemic, considered by some to be the greatest ‘online experiment’ ever conducted, especially in educational contexts, Edméa Santos’ book is a fascinating contribution to make us reflect on teaching and contemporary research.” — Lina Morgado Universidade Aberta, Portugal
