“…The current academic climate demands public engagement and accountability. The ETCL is committed to these ideals by exploring social knowledge creation in both theory and practice, as evinced in the initiatives discussed above and published work by ETCL researchers (see Arbuckle et al 2014;Arbuckle and Christie 2015;Crompton, Powell, Arbuckle, Siemens, et al 2015;Siemens et al 2010;Siemens, Crompton, Armstrong et al 2012;Siemens, Timney, Leitch et al 2012a;Siemens, Timney, Leitch et al 2012b). Broad research scans will continue in the ETCL as trends and norms develop and change.…”
